This is very good news. I doubt the quality of the releases will decrease as this has become a money maker.

I recently discovered that Viz sold their Mature titles digitally via Nook, and was dismayed to discover that the iOS Nook app doesn't support manga purchases. WTF

I think it's because of Apple's policies. If you can get mature content through the app, then the app must be age restricted to 17+. That's why mere web browsers like Chrome and Opera are also age restricted. The Nook app isn't restricted and it's the same reason why Viz does not make their M titles available through their regular apps either (only their flash-based web reader and Nook books)

But even if it is restricted, considering how they regularly remove titles that are "too mature" from their bookstore, I can see why anyone would be more cautious

Its absurd. I can buy comics actually Banned by Apple on ComiXology's homesite and download them to my iPad app.

Why can ComiXology get away with it, AND NO ONE ELSE CAN?! Mad
