Ah... JManga... I didn't think this place was the best example of electronic publishing to begin with. Their page structure was very misleading, too. They had some "informative" page, that is unavailable to "buy" and such.

The idea of the service it was actually interesting, and they perhaps had a better chance if it was all-you-can-eat subscription model as opposed to retailing.

A bit of shame especially after coming into the market with big fanfare of how all Japanese publishers joined the force making this possible... (and, it is plausible whole business model was dictated by influences of those publishers.)
