it's better to have read an e-reader version of Moby Dick than to never have read Moby Dick at all.

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Agreed and I highly recommend always getting print copies of comics and art for obvious reasons but also, if you just want to be able to reminisce and pull up a favorite strip to show your kids, or anyone really, $3 ain't bad to have a digital copy so long as you know it will never compare or convey the same as the print version. So I look at this as a supplement to, not a replacement for.

I think we could all use a little more Calvin & Hobbes with everything that is going on now.

"C&H is always fantastic and this book has some of the funnier strips. But the Kindle version is terrible. The strips are stretched out and distorted (at least on iPad) and rotated 90 degrees (and rotating the iPad doesn't help because then the image rotates too, you have to use the rotation lock)."

I get that there something about holding and reading books, but digital is a good option too.
Getting this as an ebook versus never getting it at all is a fantastic decision.
Look, I absolutely love sitting in a comfy chair with a physical comic book in my hands, turning the pages as I go.
But if a steep discount causes someone to pull the trigger and buy this for the first time, they're way better off than if they just never read this at all.

Why cut down renewable trees when we can create horrible e-waste instead?
