Instead of telling them to buy from Comixology, and when they do a search it will direct them to the Kindle website.įor old-timers, it's easy to understand the history of Comixology and how it was bought by Amazon and now directs to Kindle store-front.īut imagine like ten years from now, it seems unnecessary to retain the branding since new people who first-come into the Kindle storefront will see the Comixology branding and it will seem unnecessary since there is no meaning to it which cannot be better expressed by just calling it as Kindle Comics.Īlso, there is already some visual confusion with Kindle Unlimited and Comixology Unlimited terms taking-up space in the UI.įor me, the meaning of Comixology is putting comics first. But even then wouldn't it be more appropriate to still call it as Kindle Comics rather than as Comixology? Given the deep integration it has with the Kindle ecosystem.įor a newcomer to Comics, it would be less confusing I think to just tell that person to buy comics from Kindle Comics and when they do a Google Search, they will find the Kindle Comics storefront. Of course, Kindle Comics might eventually come close to achieving feature parity with the old Comixology experience. Kindle Comics is actually already competitive in features. If Kindle Comics is not compared with Comixology and is just compared with the current competitors like Google Play Books, Marvel Unlimited, DC Unlimited, etc. When everything has been replaced like the people (the former ceo is no longer in-charge), the website design, the back-end technology, the design of the site, the display technology, the URL of the site, can it still be called as Comixology?Ĭomixology was great and I think Kindle Comics is only looking bad in comparison with Comixology. This is also more of a philosophical question like the well-known 'Ship of Theseus'. The old stand-alone Comixology website is gone Also, the previous pc browsing experience, the previous mobile experience, the full 3-page previews, the deep search features are all gone, as well as other features. Just a thought, at this point, isn't it more appropriate to just brand it as Kindle Comics?
