Amazon embraces its inner geek by buying Comixology | TechHive - http://www.techhive.com/article...
"The digital-comics reading experience on Kindle is definitely not as good as the one offered by Comixology, so that’s one area where Comixology’s technology could upgrade Amazon’s experience. But the companies are probably a good fit in terms of their audiences: While Comixology offers “digital trade” collections, its stock-in-trade is single monthly issues from most of the major comics distributors, and its audience is more likely to think of themselves as comics fans. Amazon’s reach is much broader than Comixology’s, and the company will be able to take advantage of Comixology’s relationships within the comics industry as well as its reading technology, which was developed explicitly for the visual storytelling medium. Comixology also has a strong presence worldwide, because the comics industry is less encumbered with region-specific contracts. Amazon’s international presence has been spotty in many areas, but in comics the company should have a leg up." • #прокниги - × × ×
