Izneo, a digital comic service available on iOS and Android, has been launched on the Nintendo Switch. Izneo is a service that allows users to buy digital comic books, and read them across a range of devices. On Switch, it can be used in both handheld and docked mode, allowing you to see your comics on a big screen. This follows the December release of InkyPen, another comic book application that instead works via a subscription service.

Izneo will also be available on the Nvidia Shield, Phillips, Sony, and Android Smart TVs.

​

Izneo offers more than 30,000 books in a vast array of genres. Rich with European comics due to the company’s origin, the platform also features an ever growing number of US Comics, Mangas, Graphic Novels and Webtoons. This is the perfect opportunity to discover new artists and stories like the Netflix sensation Umbrella Academy as well as catching up with the classics like Hellboy, Tank Girl, Sin City, Lucky Luke, Doctor Who, Assassin’s Creed and Appleseed to name a few!


Readers can either purchase individual books or subscribe to izneo premium and get unlimited access to 1,500+ books from renowned publishers like Europe Comics, Dark Horse, IDW, Dynamite Entertainment, Archie and Lion Forge Comics for only £6.99 a month. By downloading the content on their system’s memory, users can then enjoy reading books without a permanent internet connection. Izneo is road trip ready!

hey this is cool time for doujins

 

[Noctosphere]

Might try it
I wonder if The Walking Dead is there

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

No offense, I'm not into reading. I much prefer to watch something. It's more compelling to me that way.

We wouldn't need a app like this if we just had access to a web browser like wii u. But they too afraid of getting hacked by one again.

Is nice. I use something similar back on the 3DS (yes i use the 3DS for reading manga) called Honto or something similar, becouse i did not discover the power of ebay/amazon for import manga at the time. But i have to say even after spending money on the digital copy and then buy the volume it self...nothing beat the sensation of having the volume in your hand. But still a nice addition for the pepole how wnat to read comincs in digital format.

Unfortunaly i wil not use this app, is not for me, especialy becouse non of the manga i read are ever gonne here so i stick with buy the volume from ebay/amazon.

 

[Noctosphere]

Nope, walking dead isnt there
Worthless for me

From what I have researched, their library seems to be lackluster compared to other sources.

that's why it's free, I guess...

Your guess is wrong. It’s not free.

 

[PedroKeitawa]

Your guess is wrong. It’s not free.

Wait you need to pay the app? Is not like honto, i go on what i know from the 3DS version, that the app is free and then you pay when you wanna buy a comic?

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

Can any of these be used to read your own comics?

I've hundreds of gigs of .CBR/.cbz and I wouldn't mind using my switch to hold them as I have far far more memory space than my phone

Ditto. Would love a .cbr solution for Switch!

The app is obviously free, as any and all comic reader apps available on various platforms. What’s not free are the comics.
