I agree that getting rid of the box would be a good thing, but I think there is still the issue of collectabe value. I think this factor will keep a print market alive.

I have found that having multiple books on a single device has been the biggest factor for me. I have found that just being about to pick up my iPad and start reading any number for books has been great.
I was never one to read the news paper, it just never did anything for me, but I have found that since getting my tablet I do consume more news from those sources. I really think it just comes down to having it avalible right there whenever I want it.
I hope that trend catches on for comics and graphic novels. the digital formate really is great when it comes to comics (the ones I have read online anyway) the images are great and reading them is very enjoyable. The apps tend to be very smooth.
and not to mention I no longer need to house boxes full of bagged comics in the closet ;-)

I really enjoy reading newspaper, magazine in digital form. But many people just prefer to read in old fashion way. However, if Amazon said that there are more digital books sold last quarter than physical books, we all know where the trend is going.

Having been a long time comic fan my reading had sliped over the past few years, but since getting my first tablet when the iPad came out I find that I am able to read far more comics then I was before, and I find the digital formate very enjoyable. Though I know many of my friends do not share the same passion for the digital formate. Over the holidays I was actualy having a talk with some friends who where saying they do not find the same enjoyment reading comics digitaly that they do from the paper copy.
I am not sure how digital comics would work on a 7in tablet like the Kindle Fire, to me it really seems like an experience that was developed with the 10in device in mind.
and Tenacious, I agree that Ironman would clean the floor with Batman. no question about it.

I'm very happy that comic books are still going strong. Just yesterday I was involved in a debate over whether Ironman would beat Batman (obviously, Ironman would win). It makes me happy to know that I am not alone in my love for comics.
