Those digital only people are going to learn a hard truth. They don't own any of it. All you get when you buy digital is a license to use. The biggest point for me is that anything I buy non-digital I have the right to resell. I buy a DVD , CD, Book, Comic Book, etc I can sell that item, and use the money to buy another. Not so with digital. Also if the company goes belly up, or there is a technology failure, I still have my stuff.

I'm not a comic book junkie. That said, I never could get into digital comics. There is something missing from the experience if I am not holding a printed copy. Art too.

Anymore If I want to read on the kindle I look for it at the library. If I have to buy, It'll likely be physical media.
