100 ClassicBooks

Has anyone bought the new "100 CLASSIC BOOKS" that's just now turned up in North America? It's a cartridge that turns the DS into an e-book reader, and also has 100 classic books in it.

Here's my other question for you. I posted earlier that at least two websites I know of allow you to upload epub books to the site and then read any book in your mobile device's browser. This works perfectly in the DSi and XL browser (Bookworm works best, requiring almost no tweaking). i can do this for free. So what would be the advantage of buying 100 Classic Books? I understand that it has realistic "page turning" effects. But is it really important to people that they create the illusion of turning a page? Why?

I'd also imagine using the DSi's browser is much more of a strain on the battery, whereas the game would probably last longer

Wouldn't using the browser use up even more of the screen space, making for a harder read? Regardless, I'm sure most people who'd buy this don't even know about your method/work-around. Or maybe people who still don't have wi-fi?SiK99

By the way, the DSi has a big advantage, to me, over reading books on the Kindle or iPad: Its clam-shell design. Great for kicking back in bed or on the couch, lying down, and setting the book down on your chest while you read.......heh heh.

One site I sometimes like go when I'm bored is fanfiction.net

They have ahuge community of user created stories on about every movie, topic, event,video game, and manga existing. It's really crazy, but easy to use.

I like paper books better. But I thought I saw Bram Stoker's Dracula in this collection, not sure though, but that makes it worth the money. CyberKlown28

yeah I don't read ebooks. But do you get to download more books or something for the 100 classic books or could someone post a link to the 100 books

I just bought it, well it was a bargain, on sale for $12 AUD.

I guess it's useful when you don't have internet signal, plus it's a nice collection and it's all in one place, and it's neat and well-presented. Plus you can bookmark what you're reading.
