The box seems thicker than normal, I wonder why?
This was announced a couple of months ago, but I thought I’d share it here: apparently there is an ereader program coming for Nintendo DS. It looks like it will contain the usual suspects of public domain titles, but even so, a prepackaged 100 books will save a lot of downloading and organizing headaches–ask Nico how’s his 100 free classic downloads from Sony went. I’m a little concerned that the slightly fuzzy resolution of the DS will make this less than satisfying, but the blurb and screen shots seem to imply a fair amount of features (including the ability to download additional books–no word yet on pricing or availability for the DLC) that may make this little collection worthwhile, even if not as an everyday ereader. Right now it’s only announced for the UK, but we’ll grab an import when it’s ready to see if it is worth anticipating a release on our side of the pond.
