![]() ![]() The other way of looking at it though, is that Amazon's move has negatively impacted the customer experience of a large number of iOS users, many of whom will not adapt but instead move on to different stores. And you can't buy books via the Kindle iOS app either, and that doesn't seem to have made much of a difference, so is this really a big deal? First, that when a comic is sold via the app, Apple takes a 30% cut, reducing the artists profits along the way. Now there are two ways of looking at this. Go back to the app and then sync, and you've got your comics. Almost all those positives are still there but to buy comics, you need to leave the app to go to your browser and make the purchases there. Part of the appeal has always been that the app made it incredibly easy to browse and buy comics, along with the fast availability of titles, regular sales and a huge library to choose from. Comixology is one of the top comics' apps thanks to a large and thriving marketplace, which includes the big titles from DC and Marvel, alongside smaller independent works. So when Amazon made changes to the Comixology app over the weekend, it seemed like a backwards move. After its acquisition of Comixology and a deal to air HBO shows via Amazon Prime, Amazon has been looking less and less like a technology company, and more like a media publisher.
