Strictly speaking, buying digital is also cheaper than buying paper - here in Europe at least. In the US, the dollar price is fixed, but in the conversion to euros, there's some margin of profit. Few shops convert it at cost - €2.16 for a $2.99 comic. Expect €2.35 at the cheapest (big online retailers, but not including shipping), but specialty comics stores have so much overhead that they use the dreaded "dollar price = euro price" system. Since Comixology sells it to you in dollars, you save close to 30%.
