Digital comics | Retailer Ron Catapano points to the comiXology server crash triggered by the response to the free Marvel comics promotion as ?the problem with digital content that fans keep complaining about?: ?I can?t read the books I paid for because I can?t save them on my own computer and I?m limited in what I can save to my tablet by the small storage on tablets. ?Instead, the books I pay for are kept by comiXology and as long as I have a high speed internet connection available? I can log on and read my books on their web site or I can download a few to my tablet. BUT NOT TODAY ? because someone decided it was a good idea to put 700 Marvel issue #1?s up for free at the same time.? [ICv2.com]
