"It looks to me like the device has a high enough resolution that it can display extant comic widths without requiring content modification, so artists won't need to design specifically for the tablet platform, or modify their archives," said Chris Onstad, the creator of Achewood. "For the same reason, I don't see [web]comic consumption changing too much, especially considering that only, like, .0009% of people will end up with this expensive-ass object, and 85% of those people will spill nitrogen-pressurized beer onto them... making the issue moot."

"I think it will change the way people read webcomics in that some people will buy an iPad (ugh, it hurts really to even type it is such a terrible word) and read the same webcomics as they read on the perfectly good $1500 laptop that they left at home, because they ran out and bought an iPad," said Jeffrey Rowland of "Overcompensating" and Topatoco.

"All I can say now is that any device that makes webcomics easier to read in bed and on the toilet is one that gets a thumbs up from me," added Ryan North of "Dinosaur Comics."
