DC Comics Arrive on Kindle and iBookstore

What's surprising about this particular digital transition is that unlike other entertainment media, digital comic books don't seem to be undercutting physical sales. Physical comic book sales remained steady over the past year, even managing a slight 12% increase. It's possible that long-time comic book readers are sticking with physical editions, while the 197% digital increase is coming from new readers unfamiliar with brick-and-mortar comic shops. Regardless, the figures are promising enough while DC has little to lose in the venture, and if new readers are introduced to some good comics along the way, all the better.
