As I go through Facebook and look at the posts that are there. I see posts from DC and Marvel about buying back issues digitally for cheap money. I understand that the digital comics are an easy way to get back issues that could be hard to find. I will admit I grew up knowing nothing but technology and computers are in my everyday life no matter what I do from work to home. But I don't see the appeal of not having the book right in your hand. I understand there are risks in both digital and hardcopy books.
The hardcopy books are always subject to being destroyed in fire, flood, being ripped (kids), and so on. Then you will have to find them again and buy them and so on. But in some cases you will be able to recover them or protect them if you want to go that far with things like fire proof storage and so on. Digital though I see more of a problem. I don't know alot about the process. But if you download to a hard drive and that crashes and you loose the hard drive then the comics are lost. If they are also saved on a cloud then I think it could be ok but I still see problems with that crashing.
To me I'd rather have the comic in my hands and be able to hold it. Also it comes down to being able to get variant covers and special covers. I doubt the companies make those for the digital issues.
Is there anyone out there that preferes the digital copy to the hardcopy? It would be interesting to see why someone likes them better.

There%u2019s no telling if the android/iOS devices of today will even be around 10-12 years from now. Most digital comics are downloaded to tablet and reader devices. Most likely they will be replaced with whatever is next. You run into having to find ways to play and store files for long term. The cost ends up being more than what buying bags/boards would be.
