Random Digital Comics News Round-Up

I'm going to start gathering these pieces into one place somehow and in some way, so forgive me these occasional, transitional posts. Beyond the usual barrage of "I'm doing digital comics now" press releases, which as a group have me baffled, two stories about readers pop a bit. The first is Simon Jones' straightforward and casual review of B&N's new portable reader Nook as a way to potentially read comics. As Jones unpacks in a few, brief sentences, there's a lot more to how these things are developed beyond simply adding color to make it a place to store and host funnybook pages -- there are things like which formats are acceptable for transfer and which files can be read at what settings. The second is that Amazon.com remains bullish on the Kindle in a way that indicates the market may still bend itself around that device. The bullishness, however, does not include specific numbers. I am personally looking forward to the day when the bulk of at least my new junk comics reading can be done on-line, and expect that day to be here in 36 months.
