    I've been reading these comics on a Dell XT2 for awhile now. Before that on my desktop. CBR format. #comicbooks

    And all the while, I have been reading Marvel and DC comics compilations on my Motion Computing J 3400 tablet.

    Now the AppleTableters get to enjoy what we've been enjoying for a while : ) #comicbooks

    it cheapens it to me. A tablet like this seems ok to me for the consumption of "read once" type of media like news or blog articles, but I don't like the idea of it for comics. Of course, not many comics are worth coming back to these days ( both for plot AND money wise). #comicbooks

    @ossuary: The option to have your favorites in a digital copy for anytime reading is awesome, though. (So you don't mess up your collection-copy or your reading copy) #comicbooks

    I'm surprised that Asus or one of these other large corporations havent jumped on this iTablet idea and started putting something together.

    With the dwindling newspaper and magazine sales, one would think organizations would be all over a new digital hand held device that could bring consumers their newspapers, magazines, podcasts, books and other media on one easy to use device that has great battery life!

    Why is this type of device so hard to bring to market?

    Amazon hello? You have the store already in place to bring digital versions. Instead of the Kindle you should have brought a color version that is a touch screen and can do books, newspapers, magazines the whole shabang!

    Apple I guess has the technical expertise to do this as well. They've got iTunes in place, but as of now I dont know too many who like the buggy as hell version 9. I've left iTunes for Songbird, 7digital and Amazon.

    Learned the hardway how iTunes 9 can hold one hostage. With all my media tied up in a broken app, it's been a real pain to break free.

    C'mon who's up for the challenge!? #comicbooks

    Uh no.

    I'm going to throw out that you guys need to take a lesson from the star was fans and start tempering yor expectations.

    So this niche product is going to market to and revolutionize an even smaller niche? And its going to be a pre-loaded app?

    We really don't even know the form this thing is going to take yet its already "revolutionary". There are rumors now its not like the tablet people are wanting or thinking theyre getting. #comicbooks

    My comic books better go up in price when paper becomes a commodity. Unless kids start thinking of paper the same way we feel about the 8-track (Noooo, an entire childhood wasted!) #comicbooks
