POLL: Ruby of Ragnoor -- Digital Download

I'd be really disappointed if you went digital-only.

Offer both downloads *and* hard copy, sure, but not digital-only.

One virus & you lose your library, so hard-copy *only*, at least for me.

No worries there. The printed books are a big part of my business. However, I have something planned for digital downloads that I'm really excited about.

I don't own a tablet but would like to see more downloadable offerings :) Going to try this one out on my iPhone, but it worked Ok on the PC.

I dunno if anyone else has caught this, but there are at least a couple strips missing from the PDF that have actually showed during the story line. First one that I noticed being missing was when Miss Match first shows up in the jewelry store before Amazon shows up. The PDF skips that strip. There's at least one other I suspect is missing, but I didn't get a chance to spot the exact strip missing, I just know the flow in the PDF feels like something was skipped.

Ooh! Thank you for that! I will double-check the original to find out what happened!

In the Mobi format include metadata like tags and a description. It helps the user to add the file to a Calibre library. Note the other reader for mobi file is the mobi pocket reader for both laptops and desktops, which can handle the color graphics.

I like the digital aspect- a nook version would be nice also.

Another comment is that when you turn it to landscape, I like the one strip per page, but it's strange that it's neither justified nor centered on the screen. A small niggle.

There are several strips missing, that contain key plot points, and and one strip that has nothing to do with the plot.

I love the strip and would love digital downloads, especially in MOBI format. But I was hoping to use this to introduce my son to Evil, Inc. Can you let us know when the corrected file is available?

I like the idea of downloads, but I don't own a reader type device. With the PDF on my laptop it's kind of fun to just scroll through the comics.

I was thinking about buying a kindle, but after seeing the instructions for how to view the comic on that device... are you kidding me? I guess I'll stick to my laptop. click, save, double click, read away. 3 steps vs. what a dozen??? No thanks.

Great job as always and thanks!

In all fairness, I could offer this through the Kindle store and it would be loaded directly to your device -- but then it wouldn't be free. An offering like this might be between $2 and $5. Would you be willing to pay for the convenience?

...And finally, I THINK I've uploaded a PDF that has a cover image included. Same link as the old file.

The idea is great. I'm voting AYE with my both hands. It doesn't make hard copies obsolete - in fact, we get to proofread the hard copy before it is hard :)

Turns out I was thinking in a similar direction. I made up a script that downloads strips and I was thinking about upgrading it to create a continuous CBZ archive in a nice automated way.

As long as you don't try to sell it to someone else, I'd say that was a fine idea. :)

If there was no floor 13 and you went up 20 floors and down three you'd be on floor 18 not 16, Captain.

Have you considered doing this as an ePub? That would allow for landscape viewing, with the art scaled to fit the new view.

That's what was used in the Bloom County iBook and it works pretty darn good, imho.

ePub is a format based on CSS3 in a ZIP file container.
