The Surrogates Hits iTunes!
Thanks to the good folks at iVerse Media, all five chapters of The Surrogates are now available for download at the iTunes App Store. You get Chapters 1 and 2 for 99¢, and then the remaining 3 chapters are available as in-app purchases for an additional 99¢ each. That’s the whole story for less than 4 bucks, and not a single tree will be felled in exchange for your patronage. Even Mother Nature wins.
While I’ve certainly never considered The Surrogates to be an all-ages read, I was a little surprised to see the laundry list of content advisories Apple used to describe the apps. “Infrequent/Mild Simulated Gambling” may be my favorite, as I have no idea what it could possibly be referring to . . .

Wow. That’s unbelievably cheap. I’m not really tech-savvy, so I’m unsure if I need an Apple device to download this stuff. I don’t have anything like the the device pictured, I’m just curious. For instance, would this work on an Ipod Touch? I ask because I’ve been looking into getting one of those. Having said that, if I can’t read comics on it, I’m not going to get it. I just need one that I can download comics on.
I’m assuming it can be any device as long as you can download iTunes stuff on it?

Hey Jake-
The Surrogates apps are good for the iPhone and the iPod Touch, as long as the Touch has the most updated software. Not all apps work that way, though–some are specific to the iPhone. When you visit the App Store in iTunes, the “Requirements” section on the info page for each app should tell you what you need to use it.
