Seriously considering going digital with the prog and Meg. Just wondering what the potential upsides and downsides are.

Financially speaking, is the digital App more directly beneficial for Rebellion?

I now subscribe to 2000AD via the iPad app. I started a thread a little while ago when the Meg went onto the app asking for some advice, which can be found here:

We talk about whether to go direct download or iPad app.

As for which makes more money for Rebellion, I'm not too sure, but I think Apple take a percentage (30% I think) as standard if purchased through an App, whereas direct download would probably all go into Rebellion's pocket...

Worth mentioning that even the 30% Apple take is better than the ~50% a high street distributor will take off the cover price.

Yep, fair point, Jim. I have decided to buy my Meg from my High Street retailer in the (somewhat idealistic) hope that if I keep buying, they keep stocking, and maybe someone will pick one up on a whim, enjoy it and be converted to a more regular dose of thrill-power.
