When Amazon acquired comiXology comics shop, surely the preferred public we wondered what Jeff Bezos had in mind: he wanted to add another service under your umbrella or be part of a deeper level?
With the Kindle Store, present in devices of their own virtual store and iOS and Android devices, offer a new establishment seemed to be counterproductive unless the purchase meant incorporate the app technology. And that’s exactly what happened: days ago Amazon and Marvel announced a partnership that will bring the comics of the House of Ideas for Kindle
The initial agreement will provide more than 12,000 publications right away. , including recent editions: you can purchase the comic megassaga Secret Wars now being published in the US as well as buy new issues based on the universe of Star Wars , which returned to Marvel after years of being published by Dark Horse.
Prices vary between two and four dollars and of course, along comes the practicality of sync comic books with any Kindle device that you own or have the app installed.
Then you ask yourself, and comiXology? It was clear that the purchase of the store was made solely for the acquisition of technology and for the Amazon approached more publishers by offering a more integrated solution than providing his comics in another store. The app depreciation move was made when the store disabled the in-app purchases; the official excuse was that Amazon did not want to pay the 30% of Apple and Google for the purchase made directly in the application. Users, accustomed to the convenience of buying a comic book with one click detonated the new comiXology, many migrated back to the scans.
Of course, now we see that it was a case thought the service was incorporated into more than established the Amazon platform and most likely other publishers like DC, Dark Horse, Image and etc. will follow suit. But the fate of comiXology will most likely be the extinction
