How much digital are you?

[beetlebum]

Which comics do you get in print and which in digital? I'm thinking of getting some of my comics in digital but I haven't decided which yet.

The comics I get in digital and print usually depend on whether or not I feel like going to the LCS.

But my pull list now:

Batwoman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Morning Glories
Ultimate Spider-Man.

I do purchase a lot of titles digitally to give them a shot, such as Green Wake, Vescell, Spaceman, Winter Soldier, and whatever other comic suits my fancy.

I would say 30%.
I have a subscription of the MDCU which i use to read older comics i have not read so far.
But i get all my new comics in print.

So I'm down to 1 print book now. Uncanny X-Force will be my last print book. The rest 5-8 books will be digital.

I would guess between 30-40% right now. Basically, if it doesn't have a $2.99US price tag on it, I'll wait and download it from Comixology or Dark Horse after the price drop. And for some series (Star Wars, mostly), I'll pick up the trades at conventions later on.

I would go 100% digital tomorrow but I've been shopping at my LCS for over 10 years and I feel a sense of store loyalty to it.

Very little. I got a few digital books on my iPOD just in case I'd be stuck somewhere with nothing to read. (The iPOD is not something I have on me at all times, but I leave it by default in some pocket of my backpack). The only things I bought that I would usually get in hardcopy were two issues of Alter Ego. I would gladly have paid the higher regular price for the paper copies, but the shipping charges made the final bill ten times what it was in digital form.

As far as comic-books themselves go, I will limit my digital use to the previews we see on CBR. I have zero interest in digital copies. I know we get the same stories, but still... it's like buying digital baseball cards.

^Ha ha digital baseball cards.

The only time I get digital is when people give me free codes. I don't pay for digital so 0%

I can't get my head around the idea of buying digital comics.

Renting them is fine.

Music sucks digitally because the booklets are half the fun and you forget you even downloaded certain things sometimes.

[tv horror]

digital baseball cards, that's a great point. Recently I watched a video where Jim Lee was drawing for Stan Lee and it was amazing watching him draw, then because of that interest I watched him on Youtube drawing Batman on an Ipad it was not the same it had somehow lost the spark. Imagine going back in time to DaVinci, what would you ask him to draw on paper or an Ipad? I agree that today's comics are worthless but it is the physical drawings that I admire most.

100%

Tablet + comics = WIN!

Nothing better than sitting in class reading comics when the professor is thinking I am looking at her boring ass power point.

Whereever I am at, if I need to kill time, I can read comics with ease. I can't carry around with me 10 paper comics wherever I go.

Why can't you carry around 10 paper comics every where you go. The weight is less then the tablet? All you have to do is carry them?

I get the in the class room part as reading from a comic is too obvious. But the convenience part to me is BS a tablet is nor more convenient then a trade paper back book. Not like being on the bus makes either or more convenient the book probably weighs less depending on what it is. Not counting big ass compendium books.

The only thing i see as a benefit is a better selection on the go.. Or just take 10 paper comics with you on the go its the same as hauling a tablet,netbook,laptop or any other of your school supplies.

I'm ok with having digital copies to complement hard copy books I already own.

Comic books are just one of those things that loses some of it's immeasurable values when handled digitally.
