I don't even like to use the camera (I'm saving up for a digital hand-held) so the idea of reading manga on a phone screen never occured to me. I'm a huge fan of ABe's work though, so maybe that would encourage me to try it. Even so, I'm not sure a small screen would do his talents justice...maybe digital manga is the future of the medium (it certainly saves paper in our environmentally conscious times!) but that old git in me still likes to sit at home or on a train with a cup of coffee and a good book. If nothing else it's great to see another piece of work from ABe - after Texnolyze he's been keeping a disappointingly low profile, even by his own standards.
