I just stumbled across a new DS collection of books while shopping online: Junior Classic Books. I know I'm not the only one who's a fan of the 101 Classic Book Collection, so I thought I'd share the news here. Looks like it just came out in the UK on the 5th November (I'm not sure if it's out in the US yet.) Here's a bit of the description from Amazon.co.uk:

I had the original classic books, and it was a decent enough effort, but really... I now have an iPhone, iPad and Kindle, and any of those three devices is better for reading than the DS/ DSi. Unfortunately the DS screen resolution is just too low.
And if you really are seriously into books, then you really have no excuse not to pick up a Kindle, considering how cheap they rare. Otherwise, if you ar just a casual reader, buy real books.
