e-Books (Digital Comics): Wallace & Gromit for iPhone Receives Half a Million Downloads (and Still Counting) in Six Weeks

News of an e-book bestseller.

From the Article:

A free inaugural Wallace & Gromit digital comic for the iPhone has been downloaded 500,000 times in barely a month and a half...

Titan Publishing’s inaugural episode of the Wallace & Gromit comic for the iPhone and iPod touch has been downloaded more than half a million times, the company said Tuesday. The digital comic landed on the App Store November 7 and quickly became the #1 free book download, only to be topped recently by Amazon’s Kindle app.

Titan Publishing is offering Wallace & Gromit: The W Files edition free of charge for a limited time in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the first ever screening of Wallace & Gromit, so grab yourself a copy (iTunes link) while the deal is still valid.

More issues of the Wallace and Gromit series are online and for sale at $.99.
