The DS turned into an e-Book reader

Genius Sonority (read: the company who made Dragon Quest Swords) has an interesting tie-in project with Chukei Publishing Company coming out on October 18 in Japan. DS Bungaku Zenshuu packs in 100 books to read. Yes, read not play with. When you turn the program on you hold the DS as a book and drag the stylus to flip through pages. Beyond the 100 books, DS Bungaku Zenshuu takes advantage of Nintendo Wi-Fi to download abridged versions of modern literature beginning November 6.

While it's far from a game, DS Bunagku Zenshuu is a neat concept for train commuters. Now the question is will Nintendo take a chance and make a US version with royalty free classics?
