June 22, 2009 4:27 pm oh man I didn't even think about manga.  I read Dragonball and Ranma 1/2 (fan translated versions) way back in the day.  I've wanted to buy them but on amazon they are a little bit pricey.  If for example i could click in longbox and buy the whole series for say $3 (random guess) a volume, I totally would

Couldn't agree more with the change or die.

great write up.  The 3 things I'm interested in with this (aside from the price point) are

1) the library aspect of it for some of my cbr's (I have a lot of Gold and Silver age cbr's that haven’t been collected that I'm enjoying.

2) The voucher for trades. Not sure how this would work but I would be all for it.  Some series i really want to get every week because I don't want to wait for the trade, but then I want the trade because I like reading an arc in one sitting, and for the bookshelf, and I don't want to buy both. I think this would solve that problem

3) Handheld devices.  I've read some manga on my Sony reader and it looks great.  The color e-ink screens are still about 2 years away. they have some prototypes working now, but the screen refresh is around 30 seconds, too long.  but when they come out, and if longbox is already ready to handle them, that would be slick
