"This week will be the final update for digital comics on the PSP," notes Grace Chen, Director of the PlayStation Store, in a post over at the US PlayStation blog. "The Digital Comics Team will continue to work on bringing the comic service to other Sony devices," she added. What platform it might that be is still up in the air, well hopefully they can bring it the PlayStation Vita, but for now, let's simply savour the last batch of comics for the PSP.

The PSV would be a good place for it, but I'm hoping they will also bring the digital comics to Android devices like the upcoming Sony tablets.

It was kinda stupid and expensive anyway... Coulda just made it into a .html file and read it, or if you have Bookr just use that.

So now they're basically forcing loyal PSP users to switch to PSV. What a donkey of a move.

It's definitely because nobody ever used it (and don't be a semantics whore, nobody as in very small percentage of people). It was probably more expensive to keep up than they were making off of it. Like others have said, just download digital versions of comics and export 'em to .html or use bookr. Simple concept.

I used it for some TF comics, but switched to my iPod in the end as the service was updated faster on there.

Typical Sony though, they think nothing of pulling support for services or products - it's why I don't buy any of their kit outside of Playstation or Vaio.
