Digital Manga Publishing Expands to iBooks For iOS Devices

Chris Beveridge Posted by



Digital Manga Publishing is continuing their varied approach to hitting a lot of digital publishing ventures in order to get their works out there, at least the ones that don’t push the limits of what non-manga fans can handle, and now the publisher is getting volumes out onto Apple’s iBookstore. The publisher has just had twenty-five volumes of their titles listed in the Comics & Graphic Novels category, specifically in the recent “manga” section created by Apple.

Digital Manga’s titles are optimized, fixed-layout ebooks for the iBookstore, which are also designed to allow you to jump to the other side of the book to start your reading in the right-to-left eastern reading format common for reading most manga—combined with iBooks’ superb reading interface, this gives customers a richer experience to reading manga on the Apple iPad, iPhone and the iPod Touch.

“We like to accommodate to Apple’s high standards, so we handpicked the best selection from our back list to launch our titles on iBooks.” – Fred Lui- VP Publishing and Digital Content
