The new service, which was announced last year, is a cloud-based system that allows a library's users to check out comics from virtually any device. Josh Elder, an account director at iVerse and a comics creator himself (he wrote Mail Order Ninja), told Publishers Weekly that he developed the system with input from librarians: "They were worried about the cost of acquiring physical graphic novels," he said, "they often didn't have enough knowledge about the category, shelf space, especially for manga, was an issue and they said that graphic novels were 'read to pieces,' circulated so much the books fell apart. I could see that digital was the solution."
