Reading comics on the iPhone/Touch is a pleasure. I get more out of my reading experience because I interact with my comics. I mull over the art longer because I focus more on each panel or well-designed page. As a comics reader, not a collector, I welcome the addition of digital comics. I have tired of expensive comics and long boxes that take up precious space in my home. I hope publishers get on board with releasing comics in digital format. Remember that there are many comics available legally online for free or for very little money. ComicZeal doesn't promote piracy. I'm glad they made such a wonderful app. I LOVE this app. And while it is nice that some other apps for iPhone/iPod Touch break the comics into a panel-by-panel slideshow, I prefer ComicZeal because it puts me in control and sometimes page layouts are complex enough or artistically designed in such a way that separating each panel detracts from the creator’s intent.
