The new Comics Beta option is a disaster too as the most it does is add a black background to the comics to perhaps bring about a full-screen effect. There is no option to sort the library as per series. So, while the overall experience with the app on the iPad has been largely below par, the same on the Mac is perhaps even worse. Beltran also lamented the lack of purchasing options from right within the ComiXology app. Reading off the guided view or normal view has been largely okay though there have definitely been some loss in quality with some of the images.

Unfortunately, most of the grouses with the comics app continue to haunt its users even today even though Amazon has promised to make things better with the app. Nearly all long-time users of the ComiXology app seem unanimous on one thing, the disastrous transformation that the once popular comics app has gone through post the Amazon takeover. It has been more than six months since Amazon integrated the ComiXology app with the Kindle ecosystem, and it has been a sordid tale of mismanaged priorities ever since.
