DC Comics Now on Kindle et al

[LongBlade]

I just saw a press release indicating that DC Comics are now available on the Kindle, iBookstore, and Nook.

"As e-readers and tablets continue to explode in popularity it's important for us to offer consumers convenience and choice in how they download digital comics and graphic novels and these new distribution deals with the top three e-bookstores do just that," said Jim Lee, co-publisher, DC Entertainment. "We're very excited to work with Amazon, Apple and Barnes & Noble to bring bestselling DC Comics and Vertigo periodicals to their e-bookstores."

DC Entertainment is now the only comic book publisher to offer its periodical line-up across all major e-bookstore platforms. The deals reinforce a long track record of digital comics industry leadership and innovation from DC Entertainment that dates back to its game-changing decision to make its entire line available same-day digital with the launch of DC COMICS – THE NEW 52 in Sept. 2011. That launch is widely seen as reinvigorating the comic book industry, and has led to increased sales of both digital and print comics.

Lee continued, "We were the first to offer our entire comic book line same-day digital and now we are the first to offer fans the convenience of multiple download options."

Great news for those who just want to read but e-comics don't really scratch the collectable itch.

Hmm...
Still waiting for them to bring many good older (not the new 52) comics to the digital platforms :(
