TBH I was not expecting this...

"Selling all floppies and reading omnis" should've been at the bottom IMO.

Omnibuses are what drove me to raws because I wanted to feel individual issues in my hand again.  But yours may be the final evolution and I just haven't attained it yet.

I haven't even reached my final form, yet, which would be reading an AF15 on the toilet.

Interesting advantage of the physical format that’s been highlighted here in this thread.  
 

Suppose you’re stuck in the ‘executive washroom’ reading a digital copy of the classic first Spider-Man story on a tablet, then this, unfortunately, has a significant shortcoming; you can swipe but not really wipe.

Maybe the struggling DC could develop that concept into a rhyming marketing campaign to get readers to switch back to buying paper comics again, turn back the tide.
