Manga is another genre where the print book would probably work better for me.

I hadn’t thought about craft books, but those would be good/better in print too. So would illustrated kids’ books.

There is a nostalgia factor too. I love going to my local comic book store, chatting with the owner, checking out the new titles, etc.

Perhaps because I grew up reading print comic books and it’s not only easier but kinda nostalgic!

I didn’t think of trying to read it on my computer, but that’s a good idea. Thanks for the tip.

Me too. I think this is one case where print is better.

Kind of annoyed because now I can’t really read a lot of comics I bought off Amazon since my kindle screen is too small.
Humble Bundle has been selling a lot of comics at HD PDF recently (had Image bundle couple weeks ago and last week was a bunch of Doctor Who comics). Those look really good on the computer and are easy to get to a nice reading scale.
