Touting the convenience of being able to access so many pages' worth of famous literature via a single DS game card, Nintendo executive James Honeywell told The Times, "When you go on holiday, or if you're a commuter, lugging around a big paper book can be a bit of an inconvenience. Now you've got this whole library that you're taking with you. We hope to encourage people to try books that they wouldn't go out and purchase themselves."
With this announcement, Nintendo is following its gaming rival Sony into the books on screen business: Sony launched the Sony Reader in partnership with Waterstone's back in September. The Times states that this venture will be limited to the UK market initially, but Nintendo is looking to bring it to other territories, and may expand the number of titles available if The 100 Classic Book Collection proves to be a hit with the DS audience.
I grew up with British literature so I'd be happy if it came over here.

And Enid Blyton stuff (childhood nostalgia).
Can't wait for the IGN review. "Not enough pictures, 3.1"
