As written in Knite Wiki:
"The Knite comic originated as a flash comic first released on the art website deviantART on January 20, 2010. Eventually, the comic was picked up by 4th Dimension Entertainment, which announced the deal on Feburary 25, 2011 on thier deviantART blog. Knite would still be published via internet, but 4DE would release the comic in bound book format as well as on devices like the Amazon Kindle 2, Apple iPad, and Barnes & Noble Nook. A preliminary release date for the first book has been estimated "early-mid 2013" by Yan, via her profile on the art social network deviantART."
