...imported hentai, and good ol' icarus publishing books for me.I miss icarus. I never heard what happened there, only that the main guy Simon ran into some medical issues. I would do imported, if I could read japanese. I was hoping DuoLingo might have some classes eventually.

This may seem like a whine, but really, I want to save people the time I spent.
Long Story: Purchased "Girls Shock" from PH about 2 months ago, noticed the PDF was 'backwards' (2nd to last page in PDF was 1st page of story in print). Talked to Rebecca Bolen and was told it would be fixed.
I pinged occasionally over last two months, nothing. Noticed she had a phone number in the email sig, so I called today. Turns out she has not worked there for about two months. However, her contact is still all over the site (about us and faq). So, waiting to hear back about PDF.
Short Story: Contact info for PH is incorrect, if you can, you probably want to ping them on Kickstarter.
Rant: I love the idea of a robust H market that delivers printed goods, but man, if it weren't for Fakku, I would just be the saddest. So, big shout out to Fakku for stepping up and not just doing the bare minimum, but knocking it out of the g*d* ballpark. I have always been pleased with quality of product and have never waited more than a day for an order issue to be responded to. Just picked up the lastest two books, can't wait.

Maybe my phone is evil...But thanks for your efforts!
I sometimes use an Asus tablet and noticed this weekend that I had to 'tap' for the UI, then tap the UI controls (author name, left arrow, right arrow, etc.).
If I swiped it would work, but man, I am right handed and swiping with my left thumb was starting to wear me out...
Totally unrelated, I would love a follow button on posts, so that I can get notification of new activity in a forum topic. Otherwise, I am trolling through pages just to see if someone has posted in the thread. That is why I usually quote, seems like the only way to let people know of a new post.

Has by any chance somebody purchased the most recent physical project h releases, "Sweet Dreams" and "PRETTY MANGAKA & HER SLUTTY ASSISTANTS" and can say something about the (paper) quality of this books?Ya, I picked those up a month or two back (if that counts as most recent). Both are the same quality is Stop Quibling (more news papery). Even Girls Shock is the same. Trembling Lips was on the thin side, but the paper seemed better quality, more like Fakku.
Oh Project-H... sigh...

Read Later function is now fixed. Should show up as an entry in the 'Add to ____' dropdown list.For consistency, could the Read Later show up on the 'Collections' page?
Also, I realize this might not be feasible, but I would love to be able to order my collections, or at least have them shown alphabetically (on the Collections page and in the "add to" droplist.

...things that will separate them from others while services like Netflix you can already get on, like, 10 devices.That is fair and I am willing to wait. I think though, that cuts off the portion of the market that considers those "things" standard now. Like if you bought a car and it didn't have power steering because they are working on things to differentiate themselves.
I hesitate to use power steering as example, because for some, netflix might be more like 'powered windows'. But I feel most people feel that consoles have become media centers, vs game only centers (I certainly do). But like I said, it isn't like I'll never buy a Switch. I waited almost two years for the WiiU as well. Got a great bundle.
One thing I do hope Nintendo changes its mind on is backwards compatibility. With all the consoles having usb ports (which I assume the switch does), they could create a 'emulator' hardware device, that provides the hardware to read the game. This would allow people to buy whichever parts they need for their games (like if you have N64 games, but no Wii/GameCube/WiiU games.
Until recently, I didn't realize that not all Wii's could play GameCube discs... :(

I think I am an oddity in that I got the WiiU. I have to say, totally worth it for me. Playing WindWakerHD, is almost as good as reading Fakku.
Seriously though, WiiU had awful marketing, I can understand why people didn't think it was a whole new system. I sure didn't. Audiences cannot understand anything besides [Name of system] X, where X is 1-10. But RE on WiiU was fun and great looking. Plus Steam Heist and several others. I have probably 14 WiiU games and I am pretty happy with them.
For me, I won't pick up the Switch until it gets Netflix. I used the Wii and now the WiiU as my entertainment console. Everyday that thing is on for movies, web browsing, or games. I personally am super excited to see the Switch come though if it means the death of the DS.
Don't get me wrong. The DS is a great system, with some awesome games, but I am a couch gamer. I cannot play games with my partner if we are both looking at a tiny DS screen. And a game like Professor Layton is begging for a couch experience, where you have a peanut gallery or spectators to play with. That is the true potential of the switch. To get both the best games of the handheld and the best of the consoles.
There are many DS games I would buy, things that could easily be on the WiiU (looking at you Bravely Default) but aren't. So, my hope is for a social gaming renaissance.

I mean, I could create my own collection called 'Read Later' if that was the intent. I guess I could get used to that.

The 'read later' button has disappeared, at least for me :( I tried searching the page for it, just in case it moved, but no luck!
Also, I no longer see the ability to give rep! I found it! And like that it is consistent with comments now, cool!

Could 'Read Later' finally easier to get to? Like include in My Account droplist?
Also, lot of spacing/padding in comments under stories. More scrolling, harder to read for me, but maybe easier for others.
I don't notice much else different, but I am a casual user. The one thing I would love, is if the covers of the magazines got their own entry. Some of those covers are amazing and just so hot. I would buy a collection of them, but until then, it would be nice to be able to add them to favorites or something.

Deleted at users requestI kind of like the helpless horror genre. I found the Wii Silent Hill game to be pretty good.

I didn't see them in the collection droplist though... but then they showed up like 5 minute later. I'll try your process next time. Thanks!

When I create a collection, it shows on my collections, until I leave it and come back. I also don't see it as available to add a story to.
Anyone else having issues?

I enjoyed the Wii U Resident Evil, but once again Capcom kicked me in the crotch.
Sure, Resident Evil 4 sold like gangbusters on Nintendo, so much that the did a GC and Wii version, but Resident Evil 5?
If 7 comes out for a Nintendo system, I am eager to try it.

I know it is easy to get super excited about a game. I know how easy it is to buy into the hype of a new release (movie, game, anything). So I have tried to restrain myself on my opinion of Breath of the Wild.
Holy Mother of Every Loving Fuck! This is quite simply, the greatest Zelda game I have ever played (all console, none of the GB/DS). My #1 until Breath came out was Windwaker. Open world, lots to explore, little side missions, just like the original.
Breath of the Wild blows everything away. The world is not only huge, but it is populated like no other game I have seen. For example, I was watching a doe from high grass and it was nosing around in the grass, I moved, it's head popped up, it looked around, then it cautiously went back to eating. I mean just the detail is amazing. It feels like a different world.
11/10 so far on the Wii U. I can see this game taking 100+ hours easily.

On a fun side note, I did not notice that you could see through beach ball on the cover for like, years.

What file format did you get? PDF, EPUB, MOBI, PRC, or CBZ?I got a PDF. I noticed that this latest batch of PDFs I picked up were larger in size. I picked up a few books last month and the file size was like 20-40 mb, this month they are 200+. Maybe they are upping the resolution based on feedback?
