Not surprising the digital comic market is gaining dominance, already overtaken print sales in Japan a few years back. Wonder how long until print is solely confined to the collectors market?

It feels like Japan is catching up with the rest of the world in terms of digital replacing traditional media. It was only two years ago I believe that streaming overtook traditional disc purchases.

I just hope physical will always be an option because I hate reading and collecting digital books.

My take is that there is still a decent market for phys. but it is obvious that the phys. media market is much smaller than it used to be.

I agree that there is still a decent market for it and that it has shrunk over the years and I'm sure physical will still be an option for many years to come, but I do wonder if it will still be an option in like 20 years or so.
