The iPad: Good or Bad for Manga? Date: 1/29/2010 |
|
Of course many have you have heard about the iPad (and god knows this is probably the 1 millionth post about it on the web.) I was busy post about it on my other personal blog as the information was coming in during the Apple meeting. Of course, the first thing that comes to our minds when seeing it is; how great would reading manga be on it? Of course, there is the Kindle, the Nook and the Sony Readers out there but already other anime sites are bringing up the same notion how the iPad will be big (or not) for manga. Now, here's the more important question. Will this be good or bad for the manga industry? The good is that people who might not have been into manga, could start to realize what all the hype is about. On a bad note for the industry, it is bound to reduce the actual paper printing of manga plus it will give more fuel for all those illegal manga viewing site...even more so than the current internet society has to this date. Comment what you think this means for manga. Would you be buying the iPad for manga (as well as the other features)? Maybe you are already or planning to use the Nook, Kindle, Sony Readers, etc...or are you just sticking to what most anime fans continue to do and buy stacks of manga and physically hold the books in your hand? |
