A further ten books will be made available over Wi-Fi after release.

From the amazon page linked in the article:

"With a Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, you can go online from your DS and download 10 additional books as well as rank your favourite titles"

Nice spot, Chris! Could be interesting to see how people rank these.

The bulk of Austen? Yes, please. I'm also impressed they fit Bleak House on there.

Excuse me? How is that cheap? They had to develop practically -Nothing-! All they had to do was download some books, create some sort of Txt/PDF viewer which has already been made by a bunch of Homebrew devs, and make a ton of profits.

Change it to $10, that'd really be cheap, you scam artists >:/

Haha, no kidding. The development cycle was probably a slow Wednesday afternoon.

Did you know a book doesn't cost £10 to print either? Gosh!

Translation :: 100 books we didn't need to pay licensing fees to use, but are going to charge you for.

Might be interesting when it hits the 99c rack but I for one didn't buy my DS to read books on .... and I totally agree homebrew could and probably has done this already, For free and quite possibly with the same public domain books whatever company released this shovelware used.

You're paying for the reader software and any additional features. If the presentation is good enough, it would be a bargain and worth every cent.

On the other hand, if the interface is worse than homebrew, then yes, you're right and perhaps it'd be time to get out the pitchforks.

Interesting...if this releases State-side and is cheap enough ($10 or less), I might consider it. I used to use my PDA to read books, but it was a hassle to find them...most of the e-book download sites make you use their software to open the file. Lame...
