Amazon is killing off its long-suffering Comixology app on Dec. 4, merging digital comics, graphic novels and manga into the Kindle reading app.

“Starting today, any books previously purchased on Comixology will automatically be visible in your library on the Kindle app,” Amazon said.

Amazon acquired Comixology in 2014 then put it on a shelf to rot like IMdB and other businesses and technologies it has consumed over the years.

Amazon has published an FAQ about the process for Comixology users.
