As it stands, many of my books are not HD anymore thus, I no longer have access to the very things I purchased, but lesser copies that look awful on high-end tablets. In my case, I built up a large collection of manga on Comixology over the last ten years simply because it was the only store selling HD copies of the books I wanted to read. Plus, even if I wanted to buy the books, I can't do it in the app on Android or iOS, as Amazon removed the ability to purchase anything in the apps so that it doesn't have to give Apple and Google 30% of the sale - yet more customer-first thinking from Amazon.Īmazon basically replaced many of the comics in my collection with low-res books I specifically went out of my way to avoid, and I'm not the only one This is no longer the case and doesn't look to be changing anytime soon, making it challenging to find back issues from years and years ago on. The old Comixology app and store had this down to a science, with all the features needed to sort the books by author, date, publisher, event, and anything else you could think of. Sure, guided view on the web was recently fixed, but there are still so many problems that it's hard to see how the new app and store will ever receive the features needed to browse decades upon decades of books with incredibly similar names and number counts. Anyone that reads comics could have told you the Kindle app/site isn't even close to good enough to browse, buy, and read comic books, yet Amazon wanted to cut costs by moving to a single codebase at the expense of the entire userbase (and now the staff), and very little has been done since the switch to fix things. For one, it's heartbreaking to see Comixology staff pay the price for Amazon's mistake.
