Dear UYDers,

I know, we love our physical books and issues. But digital is pretty amazing way to discover new comics, especially if you have a smart phone or a tablet. Hoopladigital is the best because it's free with your local library card and they have a huge selection of comics. However, if you want to own digital comics for a fraction of the price of paper editions, Humblebundle is great. And they give a portion to charity. Here's an example of their latest Image bundle:

Years ago I thought digital comics would do in the paper editions. I had thought I might eventually give them a try, but I never owned a tablet until I inherited my wife's old IPAD. I've read a few titles that were available for free, but I realized I'm just not interested in them that way. I guess I'm old school, and in more ways than one. I get what I call tablet elbow or shoulder if I use a tablet for too long. I find it inconvenient and uncomfortable to hold them for an enjoyable reading experience. I'll stick to spending my cash on paper books and filling my rooms with food for the dust mites.

I tried reading on my iMac and it wasn't for me. I like to flip back and forth between pages when reading comics. I still get the newspaper delivered to my house. :)

Don't forget the silverfish!
