Amazon Kindle vs Comixology
 
Saw Alan Moore's Swamp Thing isn't available on Comixology. BUt it's available on Amazon Kindle. Weird?

It's available from Comixology as individual issues.

(The Moore run is #20-64 and Annual 2)

I should have been more specific.

The collected works of Swamp Thing by Moore aren't available. You have to buy the costlier single issue.

Why?

Little follow up.

Is the basic quality and viewing experience the same on both sites?

Do both highlight panels the same way?

Amazon had some exclusive deal with DC for a while, which kept some collections on Kindle. There were some pretty good deals too. They basically wanted to keep them on the Kindle Fire but we're forced to allow them on the kindle app on the iPad as well. There was some promotion early on when the original Kindle Fire was released, but the collections didn't seem to be updated very often and I stopped checking.
I noticed a couple of weeks ago that Comixology had a section "introducing DC collections" so that contract probably ran out, and they just haven't gotten to it yet.

As far as the views go, I prefer comixology but that may just be because I'm used to it.

Oh, that makes sense!

Right Comixology has just started offering much better DC Collections than they did before. So, that would explain that!

Do you know if the viewing experience for any individual comic is essentially the same?
