In my experience, DMP's PDFs are usually fine, but many of their Kindle/Nook releases were low-res and badly over-compressed, and small text was frequently unreadable. I've only bought PDFs from them recently, as I stopped buying their ebook editions fairly quickly because of that; maybe they have improved since. I'm not holding out a lot of hope for these new guys; poor presentation of older titles with little appeal to the Western audience... I foresee them going the way of JManga et al. (And wasn't that eating competition one actually on JManga way back when?) |

DMI titles on Kindle were awful and some on Nook too. Think I had Kobo ones too. Worse if there was something wrong with the file apparently it was difficult for DMI to fix things with the third-party retailers. I even contacted DMI years ago telling them about the problems with some eBooks and suggesting how they might improve the editions. I have a PDF of Butterfly of the Distant Day. The images are much larger. Though, the compression issues do affect older titles more than newer ones since DMI made some changes (I want to say maybe in the last year or two) because many people complained. Titles that get print releases too are also better in quality to those that do not. Ironically with the way they do reprints now though sometimes the physical books end up being worse quality. Last PDF I got was a pretty big file size. I ended up getting a micro SD card to expand my tablet’s memory since comics take up lots of space. I tend to keep just my favourites on it and archive the rest on an external hard drive. Though being able to just delete a file of bad BL is wonderful instead of trying to find a print copy a new home. 
DMP were very quiet about volume 12 for some reason. I would have thought they’d want to promote Itazura na Kiss since it was the last. I don’t think many people realized at all. I only noticed it first available on Akadot 5 months ago. You might try contacting DMP asking about it. Though, FYI apparently they’ve had more staff leave and have been super hard to communicate with lately.
