Forums - Nintendo - Should I get a XL and 100 classic books?

So here's my situation. I do a lot of reading and am starting to accumulate a rather large book collection so to try to stem the growth of this collection while expanding the amount of novels at my disposal I started looking into 100 Classic Books for the Nintendo DS. There are a ton of books I would love to own and nearly none that I actually do included + more available through DLC. But their are also lots that I know nothing about, so I was wondering if you could tell me if some the lesser known titles are actually worth reading.

Also I figure this would be THE game to make me buy a DSi XL for the larger screens and more comfortable holding for long periods of time, but I already have a DS, DS Lite and DSi so I'm kinda not sure on that one.

What do you think?

Spend your money on a nook or Kindle, both are excellent.  You'll only get eye strain and a very limited book selection if you try to read books on your DSi XL.

I have a nook and it's fantastic.  The touch screen started out near worthless but now it's actually useable!  I don't have a Kindle but I know a few people with one and they love and it's pretty slick too.  Personally, I like my nook.  :-p

With either of those you get access to millions of books on the cheap as opposed to 100 with I'm guessing most of the ones worth reading you've already read.

hmm I'll look into that...

thanks!



Not trying to tell you to get a nook, but it's only $250 and you get a $50 gift card so it's a good deal.  I believe the Kindle is cheaper but I think that's the smaller version.  Size of the screen isn't a huge issue since you can change the size of the text on the fly.
