Yen Press iPad app

It's official! The Yen Press app that was demonstrated at the New York Comic Con 2010 is available for readers to download from iTunes. It provides signal page views and allows one to auto save one's place. Some of the books available are Daniel X, Maximum Ride, Gossip Girl, Nightschool, and World of Quest. The app will include "special bonus features" and "some of the short stories" that was in the YEN PLUS magazine.

FREE TRIAL of Yen Plus: The Digital Edition!

Hey everyone!

Yen Press announced the debut of Yen Plus, the digital version. However, fans can read the August issue for free! All you have to do is sign up for the free trial. If you like what you read, subscription is "$2.99 per month with the September issue." Also, what makes the September issue special is that Yen Press will begin showing their Japanese content. Supposedly, there is a "little green-haired girl" in it. I wonder who might that be? Hmmm....

Yen Plus In Print is No More

Yes, it is true. Yen Plus will cease its publication with the July 2010 issue, because "industry changes and old models are eclipsed by new." However, the manga anthology will be made available online to all your fans out there, "while giving those same readers an option to peruse manga (and maybe some light novels?) legitimately online." Now I got quite a few questions on how this is going to work. Is this going to be an online subscription? If not, how and where is the money to support the online edition? One needs some kind of financial backing for such a big this project. Will it be compatible for all operating systems and browsers? If it is something that I have to pay for, I would like to have the ability to access it...Let's hope that Yen Press will get back to us with the details.
