Wen Xian- Want to read a comic? Use the cell phone

Comic book heroes such as Spiderman and Superman may soon be appearing on smaller screens of your mobile phone.Businessmen reading comic books is a common sight in Japanese trains, but soon they will be poring over their phones as publishers increasingly digitalise their comics to cash in on the country's mobile-savvy consumers.The launch of Apple's iPhone on 11 o July could spur the growth of the moble comic market ,as the device's touch screen would make it easier and more appealing to read comics on handsets, analysts say. 85% of Japan's population are mobile phones subscribers, carriers are moving away from voice services and beefing up content services and data transmission to increase revenue.Comics led the size of the mobile publications market to double in the past business and the size is almost three times larger then the e-publication market for PCs.

Personal response:

I feel that using the cellphone to 'read' comics is not a bad idea. We can easily download and watch animaes using our phones and need not waste time on downloading from the computer. I also think that the cons are more than the pros regarding this issue. Watching the comics in digital form might harm the eyes more than reading it from a book.Moreover, there is radiation from the cellphones that harms us more. Parents might not agee to allow their child to watch their favourite animae from the phone as it is so convenient and they might neglect their studies.
The quality of the comics might not be as good as the ones from the book itself as everything is compressed together into a smaller screen.
