Things That Keep Folks Up At Night

imageNo one thinks that there's going to be enough iPads given as Christmas presents or purchased with holiday money that January DM numbers might feel the impact, do they? I don't think so, either, not really, but I just on-line chatted with the third comics fan I know that's received one as a pre-Christmas/office bonus gift. All three have talked about moving some comics buying to the device immediately -- not the possibility, not the likelihood, but the matter-of-fact reality that they are going to buy fewer comics in the store now. And this is without widespread, equivalent delivery programs in place. I found that quite interesting, even from my perspective of fundamentally letting the various markets sort themselves out -- if only after maximizing the utility of each one. If something does happen, I'm going to remember that I first heard about the possibility from Buzz Dixon.
