Kindle a threat to comics?

Sort of a misleadingly titled video  from Ad Age asks whether Kindle and iPod devices are a threat to traditional comics publishing.  Short answer: Sort of, yes, if the companies can’t find a way to encourage readers to pay for digital content. Not touched on in this video is where the direct market of comic-book specialty shops go under this scenario, or, if they go away entirely.  I tend to think the world is a cooler place with comic shops than without, and I hope enough people feel the same way to keep that marketplace viable well into the future.
