Here's another poll by our admin lynira. I guess e-books mainly applies to the US and Europe, but let's just gauge them anyways.

Where in the h*** I can get those, never seen them in Europe :\

Even after dead, we raise from the ashes for the sake of manga.

I refuse, 100% to buy eBooks. If I am paying for my reading material I want a paper copy.

kalo.. an e-book doesn't necessarily mean you won't be able to buy the paper version... it just means you can get it from the internet in a legal way. I would agree with this if they put a price of something between 10 to 20 cents per chapter. Anything above this is simply an attempt to milk the money out of our pockets...

And why are most/all Uchiha so quick to nerdrage with hatred?

I agree. Even though this is a scanlation site, I MUCH prefer buying the real book and having a paper copy to scanlations any day. I sit in front of a computer for 9 hours a day at work, and then I come home to a computer for another three? What about vacations, trips, and other things when I can take a book, but not my computer? And I don't like how manga looks on the Kindle, so yes, I won't buy e-book versions of manga. I'd rather go without, or just wait for the print version to come out.

Personally I love the idea of manga in an ebook format because then I have more space on my shelves in the long run. Plus ebooks tend to be a few dollars cheaper than their printed counterparts.

Mangafox and most other manga sites have moblie site. E Readers are usually compatible with the E reader. So if they want to I don't see a problem in it.

learn it, live it, love it.

10 to 20 cents per chapter isn't a realistic price. Let's say that a certain volume has eight chapters just for the sake of argument. That would mean that an ENTIRE volume would cost somewhere in the range of $.80 to $1.60. If you honestly think that this is enough to pay off general expenses, the people who worked on it, AND still make at least a little profit in a market where manga sales are still declining by a fair margin, then frankly you're way off in lala-land.

I buy manga on kindle. I purchased manga I normally would not have because it was available on kindle, and I happened to have been bored at the time. Plus, it saves space. The only thing that annoys me is that almost all the manga on kindle is yaoi. 🙁

Have as in present tense? As in they exist? How come i didn't know about this?! D:

I'm inbetween "I'm interested, but I haven't bought any yet" and "I'm not interested at all". I'm neutral, not against them completely, but not interested either.

Well, your comment annoys me and I'm dealing with it. What if almost all the manga was shoujo or shounen, would you still be complaining then? If you'd like to see a wider range of manga available then let them know, and continue to support the new titles available.

I'm uninterested to the point of "what's an e-book?"

When I buy a book I would like an actual physical copy please. While the rest of the world moves on with technology, I'll be in my little corner crying in denial.

Um, yeah, I would be complaining. I read a lot of yaoi, but I also read a lot of shounen and other genres. And I have already been contacting publishers and supporting the yaoi titles on kindle so you are a bit late with your "advice".

But anyway, thanks so much for jumping to conclusions!

I agree with hollabaloo. I think a price of 0.80 to 1dollars by chapter's more realistic. That's make it between 6-7dollars for a manga, the price of a ebook these day.
