Graphicly has announced it will be retiring their range of comic book
reading applications this week, with the aim of helping publishers and
creators get their story seen. Concentrating on their new Digital
Distribution Platform, which enables content creators and publishers to
easily upload and convert their publications digitally.
Enabling
publishers and content creators to market their goods across multiple
platforms, such as Kindle, NOOK, and iBooks stores to name few. Moving
Graphicly away from owning their own store based applications to
providing tools for creators to publish their work.
If
you’ve already bought applications or comics for Graphicly, you will
still be able to read all the comics you’ve purchased, and they are also
accessible from the Graphicly website or using the Graphicly Facebook
app.
“In challenging ourselves to think broader and wider, we
stumbled on a very simple idea: the best place to sell books is in a
bookstore. It’s an idea that’s worked for hundreds of years in the real
world, so why not extend that to the digital world. Additionally, with
close to a hundred million installs of Kindle, iBooks, Nook and others
(and not to mention the close to a billion Facebook users) it makes
complete sense to provide a platform for publishers and creators to take
advantage of those native marketplaces”
