Some of you may recall a title called 'DS Novel' in Nintendo's release schedule last year. There's been no word since, it seems, until now -- an Amazon listing and a game page on the Nintendo of Europe (NOE) website have surfaced, so we can safely look forward to this one, which is due out Boxing Day (December 26).

Renamed the '100 Classic Book Collection', it contains...100 Classic Books, with additional selections available for download from the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection (Amazon says 10, whereas Nintendo doesn't specify). Hopefully more are added to the list, or at least once DSWare kicks in, Nintendo will start its own service for this kind of thing. Very neat is a bookmark feature and a 'suitability' feature which, like Cooking Guide, allows you to select a novel based on how much time you have and the subject matter. Text size can be adjusted as well, so even your grammy can read 'em.

A disclaimer reads: This product does not require age classification, but some texts include expressions, themes or elements that may be considered inappropriate for young children. Like, (cough), transvestites, (cough) murder, and (cough), eroticism. Fear not though, they're just books and therefore have no means by which to corrupt your kids (cough).
