Seems we are heading quicker and quicker to a digital format for entertainment of things that used to be printed only (believe me, here at Out-of-Print, we are on the forefront of this with a couple of publishers already on board working on details to this situation that suit everyone involved). Case in point, Sony's soon to be opened PSP Comic Book Store (probably not the name but it fits here). Some features will include auto panning and zooming of the screen leading you through the comic as the author intended (no more guessing which text bubble to read next).
