Yeah, I still drop in to the stores every once in a while. I remember seeing a lot of new readers at those types of things. Brought a few with me before.

I doubt it. I hit shift + L or shift + K and voila. Even if you want something specific(or aren't on a pc), you can bookmark in many comic reading apps, and store an even larger amount of "bookmarks."

I'm not talking just about Kindles here(I don't even own a dedicated e-reader. Seems like a waste since phones do the same thing plus fifty billion other things). Reading on phone is still much easier than one handing a TPB, and you have the benefit of keeping a large collection of files on it. And you can do it anywhere. And it's a device most probably already have.

(I'm glossing over class issues with that last statement, but you get the point. Convenience yadda yadda.)

I find I don't get a lot on FCBD, most of 'em are just samples of stuff I either already have if I follow the title, or don't care much about anyway if I don't, but *some* companies do cool special stories for it, like Atomic Robo's story with Doctor Dinosaur. And that's me, who keeps an eye on most books anyway.

It's fun to see all the new people check stuff out.

from a combination of a lifetime of reading and some months with a hand in a cast some time back. Shift + L requires two hands, one to hold, one to do two buttons. I can one-hand a TPB while carrying grocery bags.

As for phones, well, their screen is much smaller, requires zooming, etc.. Page flipping is fast for me too.

I was really into 8-bit theater back in the day. You saying Atomic Robo made me think of that.
