And with the smaller installed user base on the platform, you can't be as profitable (or even cover your expenses) with a small percentage of the installed user base.  1% of 14 Million (wh...

Ok, I'm actually going to try and answer questions (because I'm crazy like that) @SteenAR - Current release date is October 2009. @Zombox - Most single issue titles will be $0.99 Publishers across the board have been fine with this. @Jim - There is a 'no frills' option, that turns off the page animations and the UI shell so you are just seeing the pages. Also - the UI is skinnable. @drak...

But nah, let's make fun of the nay-sayers. Cause ya know...they aren't part of your success. I'm sure most people are perfectly happy with change and will ease into this new and untested world of yours. *holds ear* What's that?....Oh most people are afraid of change?....and the nay-sayers are a good portion of comic readers?

Regarding publisher participation - There are man, MANY more publishers on deck. We're launching with 7, rolling out more publishers over the year after launch.  Top Cow and Boom! were early advocates, and were our first announced publishers.  RE: UI.
