WOWIO has been limited to the US only. It could be that, since theyâ€™re claiming to be going global, that theyâ€™re simply rebuilding the downloading service to cover more ground, and developing agreements to deal with international writers and cartoonists. Thatâ€™s just a thought.

It sounds about right, looking at the notice. From my selfish UK viewpoint that restriction was the downside of comics on Wowio – it seemed almost the antithesis of the web, limiting the comics geographically even more than print does. (With print there’s always the chance of finding a used copy on ebay or such.) So it’ll be good news from my angle – as long as I know the authors aren’t worse off for it.
