Well, we’re getting more and more different ways to read electronically. Now the PlayStation is getting into the act. Here’s part of a press release from Archie Comics. 

Back when I was a kid, my favorite character was Jughead.

Sony Computer Entertainment America recently announced the digital reader for PSP (PlayStation Portable), a new PlayStation Network service that will allow PSP owners to access a range of media on their PSP. The digital reader service will be launched with Digital Comics this December, putting PSP owners in control of a huge library of Digital Comics.

Archie Comics digital publishing partner iVerse Media will be adapting Archie Comics to fit this new digital medium. This is not a re-purposing of the material already available. These will be all new images prepared in Sony’s proprietary system. Instead of viewing comics frame by frame, the PSP will bring the full page to the users who will be able to move around the page using the PSP controller. When the system is up and running, you will be able to pick up Archie Comics at any Wi-Fi hotspot.
According to iVerse’s Michael Murphy, "We are working on reformatting the Archie Comics in our digital library into the new PSP format. We will have all the Archie titles in our library available at the PlayStation Store when the comic store is launched in December."
