Now this is interesting. Nintendo has just confirmed rumours that it'll be releasing an eBook reader for the DS console in the form of the 100 Classic Books Collection.It will be available from 26th December 2008.
from Gizmodo:
[100 Classic Book Collection] 'turns the DS into an eBook viewer, which is handily already designed to open up like a book, allowing you to use the stylus to turn pages. You'll also be able to zoom, search for key words or phrases, add bookmarks and change the amount of text displayed on screen.
As the title suggests there are a bunch of classics in the box, including Shakespeare, Sherlock Holmes, Alexandre Dumas and Oscar Wild, but what's really interesting is that it'll allow you to use the built-in wifi connection to download more.
There's no word on exactly how extensive Nintendo's catalogue will be yet but based on how easy it should be to reformat the massive range of titles already out there for the DS's screen and controls, we'd expect quite a lot.
100 Classic Book Collection will be available for £19.99 from the 26th of December, or you can pre-order it on Amazon now for £17.99.'
now that's incredible, i never knew that the ds was so powerful.

I never played this one on a DS before, but I think it makes it fun for kids to read and play at the same time. Good concept!
