Online Platforms: E-comics are often distributed through online platforms or dedicated websites. Readers can purchase, download, or subscribe to digital comic content directly from these platforms. Subscription Services: Some platforms offer subscription services where users pay a recurring fee to access a library of digital comics. This model is similar to streaming services for other media types. Guided View Technology: To enhance the reading experience on smaller screens, many e-comic platforms use guided view technology. This feature guides readers through individual panels or frames, making it easier to follow the story on devices with limited screen space. Device Compatibility: E-comics are designed to be compatible with a wide range of electronic devices, including tablets, e-readers, smartphones, and computers. This ensures accessibility for readers using different devices. Global Accessibility: E-comics can be easily distributed and accessed globally, overcoming geographical barriers.
