And finally, if you're sitting there thinking, "this is all well and good, but I don't have one of those fancy-schmancy iPad's I keep hearing about," then comiXology has you're hook up there as well, as every purchase made on the site will enter you for a chance to win your very own iPad.As comiXology CEO David Steinberger notes via press release, "Digital comics can look amazing on any device, PCs and Macs included, which is why we launched Comics by comiXology for the web. You don't need to have an iPad or iPhone to enjoy digital comics, but we thought we'd make at least one web user's day by giving them another brilliant way to experience digital comics."

...but yeah, reading comics is pretty nice on an iPad too.
