The transition likely makes it harder for indie creators to gain visibility, as their products risk getting lost amid the vastness of Amazon’s catalog. Previously, Comixology’s curated tags and genre-specific sections helped niche titles find audiences.

This shift could create barriers for small publishers and solo artists trying to break through the noise.
