"ComiXology is to release a HD edition of its digital comics application for the Apple iPad. Company CEO David Steinberger told Macworld that the software update will provide titles in CMX-HD format to take advantage of the third-generation tablet&amp;#039;s Retina display. The report notes that the new format offers &amp;quot;razor-sharp&amp;quot; text and a &amp;quot;dramatic improvement&amp;quot; on the visual quality of the ComiXology app running on an iPad 2. However, file sizes increase to &amp;quot;between two and three&amp;quot; times the size they were on older devices. Steinberger told the website that his firm is working on reducing file size, but added that &amp;quot;image quality is of first importance&amp;quot;. ComiXology is upgrading is entire library into CMX-HD, and the majority of its new releases will support the format. Customers who previously purchased a comic in the older format will be prompted to download it in high definition free of charge. Comixology&amp;#039;s HD iPad app will be available as a free download. &amp;gt; New iPad: Best apps for the high definition tablet "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
