The PayPal money often came from comics I sold on eBay. I avoided that for years so I could continue to pay for my digital comics through PayPal. This process began years ago, but it wasn’t enforced.

The one big catch for me: You need to move your Comixology account to be an Amazon account. It’s the typical Amazon move of listing the bio of the writer and not anyone else.Ĭomixology Accounts are Dead Time to Move to Amazon Maybe it’ll be easier to figure out a reading order for an older series? You never know.Īt the very least, I hope they get the creator credits back up with each comic. “Our upgraded comiXology app will feature flexible filtering and sorting, new book navigation features, faster, more reliable downloads, read-while-downloading, and instant reading on Android devices”

In exchange, they promise the new app will have lots of new features: They haven’t listed which iOS versions the new app will support, but I’d bet it will include a few years’ worth of iPads. You can’t expect them to maintain backwards compatibility forever, so I’m not mad about this. That may have been true for years already, though. Funny enough, I only recently noticed that the Comixology App doesn’t work on my ancient third generation iPad anymore. If you have an older iPad that runs a version of iOS that can’t handle the new app, you’re out of luck. You will need to upgrade to the new version of the app. The Comixology App you have on your phone or iPad will be dead in the water when this change happens. I didn’t mean they should move the whole site over for it… Breaking Changes I also suggested that Comixology should use the carousel that Amazon uses to show a series’ lineup of books. I could have looked like a friggin’ prophet. I was only upset that I removed a paragraph from yesterday’s article in which I noted that hadn’t had a redesign in years and was due for one. No, I’m not taking credit for it, but it did make me laugh out loud. This is all scheduled to happen in the fall (sometime between next month and the end of year). The Comixology App will be upgraded to be a new front end for the comics you shop on Amazon for. Slightly more than 24 hours after my article on Tuesday about the issues I have with Comixology’s user interface, Comixology announced today that they’re getting rid of and redirecting the shopping experience to Amazon.
