What do other people think about this repackaging of existing content as an app?

I was impressed by this, but when I went to the Marvel site I found that you can already subscribe to and view this material in your browser, so it's already available for the iPad.

I'm also not sure how readable this will be. Loading up one of the free samples on my monitor which has a greater vertical pixel count than the iPad, and is more like 13" diagonally for a comic page, compared to the iPad's 10", I found that the page was still a little small to read many of them comfortably.

EDIT: Ah... the Marvel comics require Flash to be read in the browser. Hence the iPad app. Still the question's still a relevant one.
