I see there's apps for digital comics like comixology and DC has there own. I was kind of tempted to try an issue out, but it feels weird to be reading a comic on a smart phone. Yet, I'm find with reading books on it.

That doesn't sound comfortable. I read most of mine on the toilet.

I tried one of those comic reader apps, the one with the new crusaders red circle comics? and yeah, I agree it felt weird reading on the iphone, and I haven't tried books either, but I'm ok with reading news, magazines etc...

I'm an old-fashioned guy. Paper for me.

And yes, often on the toilet.

Some things will never change. Unless they invent an iToilet.

I don't have a tablet or smartphone, and my attempts at reading comics thru internet readers have always disappointed me. My desktop screen just isn't tall enough to show a whole comics page without uncomfortable scrolling around.

I had a subscription to the paper Shonen Jump, which entitled me to a free version of the online Shonen Jump. I've logged onto that maybe twice in the last six months. Instead, I'm buying the collected editions of the few Manga series that I really liked, and I've dropped the others.

There are a few webcomics that I follow semi-regularly, which mostly are formatted to be easy to read on a desktop screen. When they come out with paper versions, I'm often happy to buy them that way, since I still prefer paper over screen.
