Again, if you are buying on anything but an Apple device, you are buying directly from Comixology, so support your local store if they have a Comixology portal, or our store. (link in my other post above). Otherwise, you are giving all the money to comixology and nothing to the people who are actually keeping comics alive, retailers. It is REALLY that simple.

Jim Zub (Skulkickers, Upcoming Birds of Prey) did a really interesting breakdown of digital sales on his blog at the beginning of the month with a little bit of additional commentary

nb it doesn't brave the fact of buying directly through windows. But that may be a moot point in future as i'm sure microsoft will soon account for the 30% taken by Google / apple on other platforms as Windows 8 takes hold.

Wow. Comixology has a sale on All-Star Superman right now, and remembering this thread, went to my LCS's portal to buy it. It was a pain in the butt, and it took over ten times as long as it would have taken to make the purchase on the Comixology app.
