Approximately four months after Amazon incorporated Comixology into the Kindle app and kind of broke both in the process<\/a>, it has outlined a number of plans to fix things. io9<\/em> noted<\/a> that a thread was posted to the Comixology account on Twitter<\/a> yesterday. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand that the current experience needs improvements, and want you to know that we\u2019re working hard to get those out the door as quickly as possible,\u201d the eleven-tweet thread begins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1.\/ We\u2019ve been combing through your feedback, and continue to be grateful for all the comics lovers out there. We understand that the current experience needs improvements, and want you to know that we\u2019re working hard to get those out the door as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Comixology (@comiXology) June 15, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

We (okay, me) wrote about how fundamentally broken the app was back in May. Some of the most annoying issues include getting non-comic results when searching for comics and comics appearing in your Kindle reading list with no way to filter them out. The thread claims it is looking into the former issue and that \u201cyou will soon be able to filter your library in the Kindle app.\u201d<\/p>\n

It also says that there will be a beta version of the web-reading experience that will bring back the double-page spread \u2014 a crucial kind of art layout in comics \u2014 and that there will be a new section that shows all the weekly comic releases in alphabetical order by title.<\/p>\n

If those sound like features that should have always been there and would be absolutely thunderously goofy to remove, you are correct. They are, but they both went away after Amazon merged the digital comics application with its much more widely used ebook application. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear why the merging of the two apps resulted in the loss of so many necessary features for reading comics, but it is deeply frustrating as Comixology is currently the only service available if you want to purchase digital comics piecemeal from a wide variety of publishers, including DC Comics. <\/p>\n
