100 Classic Books (Nintendo DS) Reviews
Now I can pack a selection of books for a trip without having to explain why my bags are so heavy. My son feels that since this is on his game unit, they are more fun. Have you ever heard of an 11 year old choosing to read Homer? Also, we are pleased to see some of the books that are likely to be on his coming year's required reading are on here. Take them anywhere.
The controls are easy and it remembers where you were last even if you don't bookmark.
I hope there will be more.

Hi -this game chip is great if you have a child who loves to read. My daughter has been at it since the moment I handed it over to her. However, the book selection is a bit uptight. There are many, many classic stories which are wonderful. However, it would have been better if they had consulted a librarian to help with the selection. There are many well written kids books that would have made this much more inviting for kids. I highly recommend it. I gave it as a gift and my friend smirked at it stating that none of the books were going to interest her daughter, but much to our surprise her 9 yr old daughter read Jane Eyre the minute we gave it to her.

I first heared of this software through my Nintendo Newsletter. I love to read and as soon as I saw this, I knew I had to have it! I bought it and immediatly started using it. I'm hooked! I just can't get off it! I'm currently reading Sherlock Holmes (which is a great book by the way!). Let me go over some of the features. On the packageing, it will show images of this software being used for the DSi XL. DON'T WORRY!!!! It works just fine on any other model. The bookshelf is where you find the books. You can access it by touching the "Start Reading" button in the Main Menu. You can browse through 100 great classics. In the menu, you will find the options search and sort. Search lets you narrow the books down by using different filters. Sort sorts the books either by Author, Title, or Genre. You can choose a book by going to the "Book Guide" in the Main Menu. You can choose a book by taking the short Quiz or by looking at the ranking by either ratings or desriptions. DS Wireless is another cool feature accessable through the Main Menu. This allows you to do the following: Download new books, exchange books with other 100 Classic Book owners or send a demo version to non-owners. REMEMBER: These features are only accessable with a Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection! Lastly, the settings give you the options to assign Background Music varrying from some classic tunes to the load noises of the Airport. You can change the font size and the menu design. It gives you the potions to configure the button settings in "Reading Mode" and change the DS Orientation from Left to Right Handed. This is a great deal and I highly reccomend it to anybody. It's great for the whole family and a steal for $20! To browse the library of books, follow this link[...]
