I have a DS, I am not a knuckle-dragger and I love sushi!However I don't have the time, space or money to own 100 separate books. Mine is on order with Amazon already.

Cat, Highlands,

Or you could get a flash cart (google nintendo ds flash cart) and use the wonderful usermade program dslibris. Because Nintendo is using a cartridge to hold these books space is limited. With a flash cart you can have up to 32gb of books, games, music and more.

Asking if people who play video games would read shakespeare is like asking if people who eat at McDonald's would ever eat sushi. Some people have broad tastes and are curious about many different forms of media. One should be glad at any attempt to encourage the public to read classic literature.

Dave, Toronto, Canada

The idea video game players are uncultured knuckle-draggers who wouldn't want anything to do with a book, much less classic literature, is an insulting and lazy stereotype, suggesting no real and complete experience with those so derided.

Besides the eys strain of reading those electronic books, what about the market? Are people that play video games going to read Shakespeare?

If they could combine a reader with a netbook......I'd have the perfect device for vacations.

I have a sony prs-505 and its awssome. Using E-ink I can read it in full sunlight - and it goes a week or more between charges. Page size is about the same as a paperback - and I can keep 100's of books. Dymocks sell one far more expensive as are their e-books so source from project gutenburg.

Phill, Sydney,

Oh, I really want this. Let's hope it's popular enough to come to the Southern hemisphere one day!

Laurel, Christchurch,

Yeesh, is that 10 lines per screen (probably even less than annotation)? What's wrong with books, exactly?

Martin, St Andrews, Scotland

The key difference between the Amazon and Sony Readers, and video consoles and monitors, is that the Readers use a non-refreshing, non-backlit screen - currently called eink and epaper.

DSs, ipods, moitors, etc have the potential to cause terrific eyestrain if used to read digitised books.

Oh Great! I have a DS and I would happily read a book from that whilst on the daily commute!!!! Brilliant, read.... play mario.... read some more....!
