I'm pretty narked about this. I rarely switch the PC on nowadays and all my purchases are made through the ios app.

And I'm happy to call bullshit on any statements of "more money for the creators", I doubt they'd see another penny for sales.

Yeah buying through the apps was basically giving Apple/Google free money. No reason to do that when purchasing on the site is so much easier.

But by removing the convenience of in-app purchases creators may now be getting a lager slice of a much smaller pie.

Convenience is a big issue, especially with tablet users. Having extra hoops to jump through isn't. A good thing.

Anyone know if there is any possibility of graphic novels and manga titles that are in the Amazon kindle library being put on to Comixology?

It would be interesting especially because of all the 2000Ad collections that are on the Kindle but not Comixology. I expect it would happen some time down the line.

Wouldn't surprise me if Amazon killed off their "kindle comics" entirely and moved everything to comixology. It would make sense as the Kindle reader is more than a bit crap for comics but, price wise, they're a lot cheaper (in the UK at least)

Up 'til now, I've always used the app, but yeah, UK store. Didn't realise there was a difference.

Since it looks like I'll be using a website for everything now anyway, I'll probably try using the US. Probably better value.

Yep, you have to go to .com to use the credit (I did it to grab the Ted McKeever Library volume I was missing). However, when I go to Comixology.com from Safari on the iPad, it tells me I can't make purchases from there and have to use the UK site. It let me spend my credit easily enough but it seems you have to make purchases from the UK site.

Comic Zeal is nice because it sets up a server to let you directly load comics into it rather than having to deal with iTunes.

When I tried that the comics imported were really compressed and looked horrible compared to just using iTunes. Did I miss something in the setup?
