Prices are roughly the same with other competitors and sometimes you can get a better deal if you are an avid buyer with their coin-back rewards. I like the web reader which means we don t have to rely on apps like kobo or BN and for some Kindle books (so it s good for Linux) but the interface for the payment and bookshelf features in the web and mobile apps is clumsy. And they seemed to be very scared of cracking their DRM since they are not committed to their PC reader app, so that part is a little worrisome for JNC s membership DRM-free future. However given the censorship policies Amazon/Comixology and Kobo has since over 3 years ago (less so for BN), affecting even J-Novel Club s own licenses, Bookwalker is now the only store that will sell all titles, even a few of Fakku s.
Kadokawa Acquires J-Novel Club
The folks at Kadokawa have made a pretty solid move to continue their expansion in offering their works overseas as they’ve announced (PDF) that they’ve acquired the J-Novel Club publisher. Kadokawa has a number of venture that includes Bookwalker and working with Yen Press to bring out a range of their books and the J-Novel Club acquisition is another piece in this expansion as the Japanese distribution side continues to recognize the importance of the overseas market – and their stronger control in those that bring those works overseas.
The plan, from what I can see through limited translation of the PDF, is the intent to up the simulpublishing side of their titles and then work the books later. Subscription services are also looking to get a good bump through this.
