I agree with this. While graphic novels are more of a niche, especially manga, TOKYOPOP is doing some amazing cutting edge things to reach out to their consumer. They even have sample pages to read, voice-overed chapters of some of their comics. Of course the problem is at the same time, many of the features they have are hard to find, and hard to navigate. It needs design overhaul in my opinion.
Obviously their targeted consumer is the teenager. BUt many of the concepts they have in place can be adapted and grown to fit a wider range of demographics.
