Go, Read: Sean Kleefeld on Wowio The writer Sean Kleefeld takes a smart, concise look at the new Wowio re-launch and notes changes between this iteration -- under the ownership of controversial not-a-comics publisher Platinum -- and the last. What he sees is 1) a bizarre melange of price points that suggest 99 cents on every paid download goes to the publisher and that some of the newer titles available from the site are going to be priced the same as print, and 2) a few prominent clients not making the trip from one version to another, such as the titles offered by Checker Publishing. If I'm reading him correctly, he's also seeing one or two thing available for a fee that may have come directly from fee offerings elsewhere, which is sort of odd. I'm not sure this ends well.
