ebooks meet Nintendo DS
Finally, EA seems to have figured out that the future of ebooks is integrating them into devices people already have. They are coming out with a line of books for the DS, including Artemis Fowl (I gotta buy that one!). These will apparently also include extra games and interactive aspects.
The iphone has kindle apps, and now the DS will get some books, so maybe ebooks will finally be a viable idea. With all the format wars going on right, it just doesn’t make sense to sink the money into a device thats only good for reading some books.
My only problem with that right now is that this might only be in the UK. Now, I think there shouldn’t be any problem playing a UK game, but buying it might be harder.

There is also a related contest on Eoin Colfer’s website. Win a DSi and Artemis Fowl.
I know that people can no download them on their Ipods, and thats pretty nifty!!!!

E-Books on the DS, that a great idea. I listen to audiobooks on my Ipod constantly but I don’t know how much I’d enjoy reading them there. I think I still just like having a book in my hands too much for that.
