It's a first generation device and it doesn't even open the Marvel comics purchased on Amazon, so it seems that Amazon is not very interested in supporting it either. But at least I know I will be able to read the comics I purchased from Comixology.

Anyway, back to my previous question: how often does a particular comic go on sale? Is it hard to say? I know that missing a sale on a PC digital game is not a big deal, as it will be on sale again in the new few months. Is it the same with comics or not?

And another newbie question: Comixology doesn't have big seasonal sales, à la Steam or GOG Summer Sales, right?
I'm glad you have a partial solution at least.

On sales, they are frequent but never completely store wide. You could go back thru this thread and see the history of sales since I started posting here at least, as I post every sale.

They once had a mainline Marvel title sale, where everything was half off for a week or two. That killed my wallet.

The sales do tend to repeat, but in the few years that I've been a Comixology 'power buyer' there have been some sales that have not repeated, and some titles that have never gone on sale.

Pretty sure it's a publisher decision, and Comixology can't just put. Things on sale wily nilly.
