I'm happy for all the boys love fans out there, but personally it aggravates me when I go to the Kindle store, type in "Manga" and ALL that comes back is this stuff.

Can some other publishers please put something else on there.

I wonder why nobody else puts Manga on the Kindle, I know I would certainly be interested in buying it in that format if more were available.

One thing I've noticed with the kindle yaoi releases is that the type is very small. Any manga with a lot of text might have a problem in this format.

I convert a lot of scanlations to the Kindle using Mangle and there have been a few I can't read, but most come out perfect. If a publisher is going through the trouble of putting it on Kindle for money then they should figure out a way to make the typeset bigger.

That being said, I'd would gladly pay for manga on Kindle over using Mangle, but once again the industry is slow to adopt and is losing money by missed opportunities.

Seriously are there a bunch of 90 year old men running the anime/manga industry in america who think this crazy technology thing is just a fad.

Learn to early adopt people!
