It is easier to scroll through text, but images are another story and it is baffling that this wasn’t acknowledged as a potential issue when this merger was initiated. The Kindle app was never something one enjoys browsing but at least the reading experience never felt so clunky. One hopes that this will be improved over time but people have probably hoped for the same thing on the main Kindle app for years. Instead of a fresh start for comiXology, this is a massive, laggy, regressive step. It is everything that the standard Kindle app is (which is serviceable at best) but not properly developed for comics. Overall the app is a rush job of forcing all your comics onto Kindle – instead of utilising the technology of the industry-leading comiXology app. I would keep a large number of books downloaded that I would without much thought or trepidation jump between. None have been as intuitive or comfortable to buy through and use as the comiXology app.ĭue to the strengths of the features over the competition, the bulk of my overall comics purchases (particularly of singles and manga, but increasingly of graphic novels) have been via the main comiXology app – with the comfortably intuitive reading experience keeping the app a go-to as a daily reader. I have tried several apps – publisher exclusive apps (2000AD, Dark Horse, Shonen Jump) alternative storefronts like Europe’s Izneo and Sequential. My main reading experience is via phone and tablet. I have been a heavy user of comiXology for some years now. The – albeit dated – quality of life elements that made the original comiXology app a place to regularly visit and use have been removed and replaced by everything that you associate with Kindle functionality.
On opening the app, and going through the log-in process and the interminably long loading process of my books, the entire thing looks and functions the same as the vanilla Kindle app would.
