I stopped collecting digital as a repercussion of Comixology getting bought. The entire process did nothing for comic fans and just lined Amazon pockets even more. Kudos Amazon you got me to stop reading comics
Maybe some site that allows you to download DRM free copies of your comics, so that you can read them in any reader, even if the service goes down or get bought.
That’s what I do, I pirate digital versions of the physical books I buy (because I like physical copies more) and convert the .cbr’s to .cbz’s for use with any comics reader for on the go, in my case: Librera FD.
I find that typically (due to drm) buying digital things tends to suck donkey balls these days and it becomes easier in terms of ux and even sometimes procurement to just pirate it.
To be fair I never bothered to try buying digital with comics because I’ve been fed up with movies, tv, games, etc, and I’m in it for the paper (printed) anyway so I’m not buying it twice, and the other half of the stuff I’m into is old and collectors want 10k for it, so unless they reissue The Flaming Carrot (which I’d get) then fuck 'em!

I was mainly thinking of some site that lets you buy the DRM free versions, but I guess that is one way to go too.
