Intending to help consumers instantly browse, buy, download and read hundreds of old favourites as well as the latest titles from Amar Chitra Katha, on the go, Microsoft Corporation (India) and Amar Chitra Katha have jointly launched the first official Amar Chitra Katha comic application, “ACK Comics” exclusively for Windows 8 tablets and notebooks. This free app is developed by Ninestars’ App9 Digital Studio.
The free app will bring the entire library of Amar Chitra Katha titles to Windows 8 users in a downloadable, easy-to-read format. Consumers can read their comics on multiple devices using a single user account in either Flipbook mode (standard, page by page) or Panel-by-Panel mode (for ease of reading on smaller devices).
Vineet Durani, Director – Windows Phone Business Group, Microsoft Corporation India, said, “At Microsoft, we are constantly looking for ways to boost the apps offering and make it more relevant for the consumer. This is yet another step in that direction. Amar Chitra Katha comics are an Indian childhood staple and we are sure consumers will be delighted with the addition of this app to their tablets and notebooks.”
"We are very excited about the launch of ACK Comics, Amar Chitra Katha's first digital comic store app in association with Microsoft. Digitalization of Amar Chitra Katha was the next step towards making our comics available to the net-savvy Gen Z. With the launch of the ACK Comics App, we can now reach out to millions of readers who can access the vast treasure of Indian storytelling on their fingertips," said Manas Mohan, COO, ACK Media.
ACK Comics app will be available exclusively on the Windows 8 platform for the first month.
