…or how about the electricity needed to run the iPad? Electricity isn’t green. The majority of electricity comes from fossil fuels. What about when you’re done with the device? I’m sure it’ll decompose into the earth just like paper, especially the battery it uses to store and use electricity. Something to consider when you’re trolling around in your Prius thinking your saving the earth. You’re actually causing more harm than good.

You know what……Ipad needs metals that need big diesel engines to dig up the earth and clear the forests. -

So, are the comics made specifically for the Ipad? Or are they general releases that you can find in the store as well? I don’t mind either of them. Can anybody help me?

@neoarcadezr Yes, Viz Media (the owners of Dragonball Z, Naruto, Bleach, Inuyasha, Death Note, etc) made a app for the Ipad. The manga cost $5 per book, and it just came out on the 2nd of this month. It has all the best manga’s on there. If you have a Ipad, i highly recommend getting this app! The manga is so good!

I’m certainly about to do this as soon as I get my IPAD. I think the subscription is like 50 dollars. That’s a heck of a lot better than paying 3 dollars a comic. I quit because I was getting obsesed with collecting, and forgot why I got into it in the first place….. The love of reading about superheros
