My main library (HI) out in the ocean seems to offer books in both formats, but the graphics novel e-books (i.e., comics) are only loaned via the Kindle service or the Overdrive web reader (not ebook e-readers). Using the latter app is a pain to read, as they do not offer the reader the option of looking at a pane at a time, whereas the Kindle Fire readers offer such an option. Has anyone complained?
