Comic books on Kindle

work great!

really, I'm glad they've gone for a guided view approach as pioneered by XComics for tablets: they show you first the whole page and, obviously it doesn't quite fit the small screen, then as you hit next page it actually leads you through a guided view through each of the panels in the page.

lack of colors is a non-issue, at least for classic comic books before digital production of comics during the 90's led to painted, colorful comics: color was flat back then and still looks great on 16 shades of gray

I bought Chris Claremont and John Byrne's epic "Days of future past" X-Men saga from the 80's and was blown away how well it reads on kindle. Byrne's finely detailed pencil shines through Terry's inks in all the original glory during zooms on each panel.

great, truly great. reads much better this way than on LCD, hands down.

only downside is download time: ebooks are usually about a few hundred KBs, if much. this seemed to weight in about 100MBs or so.

at least, quality was preserved. well spent money on this classic from my teens...
