The Amazon ComiXology App Problems Stem from Misunderstanding Comic ReadersĬomic book collectors have many ways of organizing their books. The most important move for Amazon right now is to go back and keep ComiXology unique. And people who wanted to use ComiXology use ComiXology. People who want to use Audible use Audible.

What makes this frustrating is that Amazon isn’t doing this with another one of their brands: Audible. At some point, Amazon will phase out the ComiXology app and only use Kindle, regardless of the problems that will cause. The writing is on the wall – or maybe the homepage. And if the new ComiXology app indicates anything, it’s that they never will. Sadly, they never really cleared up that problem. I had to create lists upon lists to sort through it all. Finding the non-comic book items took forever.

Several years ago, when I merged my ComiXology and Amazon accounts, I opened my Kindle to find every comic and graphic novel I have ever ordered. Making ComiXology a Kindle App Caused Many of the ProblemsĪs it is right now, if you have comics from ComiXology and you use the Amazon Kindle app, you know some of the problems the merge already had. However, these are the problems that Amazon needs to address in their new ComiXology app as soon as possible, especially after their statement.

Okay, that’s probably not that simple, but the most obvious one. Some of those problems can’t be fixed easily, while others might be as simple as rolling back the update. Books are disappearing, the organization is terrible, archiving is gone, and all preorders just vanished. While the new ComiXology Amazon app site has some pros and (many more) cons, the new app is a frustrating experience. In fact, they postponed the launch because of the feedback they received from beta users. Despite postponing the release of their new ComiXology app, Amazon released an update full of problems that should have been worked out in beta testing.
