It's a great idea, but I've never been able to read books electronically. It just feels wrong and becomes a strain after awhile.
Also, we need Boxing Day in the US, but instead of December's Black Friday or the more traditional day of charity, it should be a day when you can beat the shit out of anyone and everyone without retribution.

Moonbooks beat them to it. Rather convenient that this news breaks at the same time the owner of that site announces that Moonbooks was shut down due to DoS assaults.
That's actually a pretty good idea, given that £18 is about the price of a standard hardback these days it could possibly become a decent avenue for book publishing at some point.
Highly unlikely that that'll happen though. Would be nice though.

Pendle, boxing day is the day after Christmas, meaning you no longer have to be polite, and can box the shit out of your granny for buying you socks again.
Boxing Day is so called because, many decades ago, the day after Christmas was the day for opening presents. Christmas Day itself was devoted entirely to the family and the dinner stuff. They waited a day before the materialistic shit.
Now is no longer the case, but we keep the day because, hey, everyone likes an extra day of old family movies on TV.

Where do you buy your books? Either that's an on sale hardback or a drastically marked up paperback. Slightly marked up trade?

We dont celebrate St. Stephen's day, Christmas, or boxing day here for the most part. Boxing day is a day for over indulgent greedy folk to box eachothers ears for sale items, or trample kindly old men.
Yikes, classics? You mean the stuff they make you read in school where everyone learns to hate reading?
That list needs R.A. Salvatore and George R. R. Martin >:-(

It's just the choice of "classics." Some are good (The Idiot, War and Peace) and some are terrible (The Old Man and the Sea). Unfortunately, the terrible ones are usually taught.

"Wait, a clever idea using the DS' full potential?"
Are you joking? So you're saying the DS' "full potential" is displaying static images of text?
It's a sad state of affairs when something as simple as this gets more attention and praise than the last 50 DS games released.
GIVE ME SOMETHING TO PLAY ON MY DS, NINTENDO!

Oh, and 17.99 GBP is actually equal to about 26 US Dollars.
If you're paying that much for a single book (as many of you say you are), then you're doing it wrong.

I think it's a cool idea. The touch screen always made the DS pretty versatile, I'm surprised they didn't do this earlier.
American post-Thanksgiving "Black Friday" == Canadian post-Christmas "Boxing Day". There is some history in there, but w/e.
This has long been an ability of many DS flash carts. Yes, OMG. Flash carts for things other than NOT games? Yes. My prefered tool is DSLibris. Great for Creative Commons works an not just public domain stuffs.

Why has it taken this long for something like this to arrive? I want my DS to become a Kindle post-haste!
It took too much time for developers to release this software, the Nintendo DS is perfect for apps like this one!
Do you think there is a chance for an American release?

I used to use my R4 to read some short stories that I converted to .txt. I'm all for this. Damn cheap too.
DS as a book reader - long overdue.
I do believe that the 100 classic titles will be coming to US shores with titles more relevant to the US market.
I don't know when though, but there is another review at ;

Worth a read, and their news section/news letter might keep you up to date on the US issue.
