You know, I never realized how complete those roms are. I just ordered the Amazing Spider-Man after reading that the pages appear as pdf files. Thanks for the links.
 
I am hoping the market for this stuff does well, as the App I am working on is related, but has sseveral iphone/pad dedicated innovations, I am hoping will not only push it to the top of the charts, but also possibly reinvigorate the field.
 

Thought putting this on an ipad would be ideal, yet read reviews that said they are scanned in two page spreads. I'd think having one page pdf scans would look much, much better on the ipad then two page scans. Just my opinion though.

Just looked at my Fantastic Four copy, they are two page.

BUT i'm sure it would be rather easy to zoom in to one page
 
I have several CDroms of comics, Star Trek, MAD, Archie and they are all PDF of the complete comic series. Currently I have been using my MacPro but would love to be able to transfer to the iPad. I'm just hoping that there is a way to create folders for files I already own. I have thousands of ebooks without DRM in my collection. They are in several formats, MOBI, PDF, TXT, PRC, and LIT. Also seeing one page at a time is fine but some comics are made to read two pages at a time.
