从移动设备上购买漫画书将变得更加困难。今天，Comixology正在用一个新版本取代iOS应用程序，该版本取消了购买漫画的功能。新的应用程序仅仅是一个漫画阅读器，这意味着你必须访问公司的网站购买新的漫画。你可以在新的应用程序中浏览漫画并直接下载免费漫画，但付费漫画只能添加到你的心愿清单中，供以后在线购买。与旧的应用程序一样，以前购买的漫画可以直接从应用程序下载和同步。

对于iOS用户来说，这一变化当然不是一个进步，但这一变化的原因很明显：苹果的应用商店政策要求其在所有应用内购买和订阅中获得30%的折扣。通过强迫用户在Comixology网站上进行购买，苹果公司不必给苹果一个折扣。亚马逊本月早些时候刚刚购买了Comixology，它长期以来一直在iOS版Kindle应用程序上玩类似的游戏，而iOS版Kindle应用程序也缺少一种购买新内容的方式。

Android应用程序今天也进行了更新，不过变化并没有那么剧烈。应用内购买现在是通过Comixology而不是Google Play进行的，类似地，谷歌也可以避免向谷歌支付其销售额的一部分。为了让现在的用户在升级应用程序的过程中不那么痛苦，苹果公司在升级应用程序时会赠送5美元的礼品卡。

更新4/27下午3:50 ET:Comixology通讯芯片副总裁Mosher联系Engadget发布以下关于删除iOS应用程序内购买的声明：

"As we move to complete the acquisition with Amazon, we are shifting to the web-based purchasing model they've successfully used with the Kindle, which we expect will allow us to strike the best balance between prices, selection and customer experience.

There are many advantages to shopping at comiXology.com. Because of the content restricti*** our mobile partners have, shopping on the web provides even greater selection of comic books and graphic novels. iOS customers will now be able to save money with comiXology's exclusive web-only Bundles, take advantage of Subscription features and enjoy eGift Cards. We also made our website more tablet/mobile friendly on all devices to make the purchasing process that much easier. And in Safari on iOS, customers can easily save a shortcut to our webstore with the "Add to Home Screen" feature.

In the new Android 3.6 upgrade we have a new comiXology in-app purchase system and a great new shopping cart, one of our most requested features. In the new app, customers may be prompted to update your payment information to continue purchasing books. This is a one-time action after which you can purchase inside the app."
