What the advent of the iPad a lot of magazine and newspaper publishers are pretty excited, they feel that they’ll be able to generate some additional revenue people who will pay for the content will cannot do the same thing with the comic book industry. What does the couple of this must just do that, the first one is form Marbel and Marbel is one of the biggest comic book companies in the world you probably familiar with titles like Spiderman, The Incredible Hulk and the X- Men. It’s a free app to download and then after that they do have a free set of comic show you can check out and then you can download additional one. So we’re going to go down and browse the ones that I’ve downloaded already and you can do the cover scroll here and I’m going to check out Spiderman and this is kind of cool because it displays the full comic right on the screen with that nice large screen on the iPad it just like reading a comic book but in the brilliant beautiful colors and just like a comic book I can simply scroll through here. And kind of a cool feature is you can go panel by panel as well so by double clicking I can then just view the comic kind of like that so brings up all those little individual panels kind of up into a larger size so it’s make a little more entertaining to read but again if I want to go back to the full page layout I can just basically double click. So again they do such you off with a few free comics I guess to get you going in excited and then you can download additional ones for a bit of money. Another comic book app that are came across if you heard to got a digital comic book collection is comic zeal there is a few different ones out in the market but kind of like this one separately inexpensive as well as I think it’s around $8 for the app. To my collection here and this one allows you read a number of different format including PDF and even the comic book format which I think is a dot CVR. And you can see it brings up the comic right on the screen here and this one doesn’t have the same feature where you can double click on the little panel I have to come up but you know if you want to you do have the pension zoom feature so you can enlarge it with your fingers in a manual right here. So when you’re ready to go to the next page you simply scroll and you’re good to go. Then two apps Marbel comics, very sleek beautiful and you can download pay comics and also comic zeal if you got in existing digital comic collection.
