ComicBookBin iPhone app adapts to lifestyle of comic book hobbyists

CALGARY, Alberta — The popular and unique comic book Website The Comic Book Bin has
launched a new iPhone app, with the most comprehensive list of comic
book conventions, a global comic book store search and a directory of
more than 10,000 articles.

The intuitive second-generation Comic Book Bin app adapts to the
lifestyle of the comic book reader, unlike first-generation apps that
force users to learn new interfaces.

“Other comic book apps force readers to read complex contents on tiny
screens and to change the way they interact with a comic book,” said Comic
Book Bin Founder and Publisher Herv St-Louis.

St-Louis, a reputable and well-known industry expert, said that the
Website needed to reflect the future of communications with this mobile
app.

“The iPhone, no matter how much other smart phones have advanced since
the launch of the original version from Apple, is a symbol for the new
way people consume information on mobile devices,” he said. “Its the
most mature mobile environment.”

Features of the new app include:

• Powerful search engine that can find articles published since 2002.
  Users who prefer to browse and search articles can either use a
  gallery view with image thumbnails images when in landscape mode, or a
  simple news-reader type of listing.
• A continually updated comic book convention listing that is one of the
  most comprehensive comic book convention schedules available anywhere.
• A multi-lingual, global comic book store locator that locates comic
  book stores in the user’s area without forcing the user to do any work
  such as entering zip codes or personal addresses. It also lists comic
  book stores freely, unlike other apps.
