I have read two books using the Nintendo DS. I will tell you this: it's not easy, but if you wanna read something, it can be done.

As other people have stated, the screens are small (even though there are two), and the resolution is poor. The backlit screens also hurts your eyes as a computer screen would.

What IS cool is that there are several types ebook reader softwares out there for different things. The one that I found to be my personal favorite (though the name escapes me since I tried like 4 different ones) was where I could hold the DS on its side like a book and have the two screens behave like two pages of a book. It was neat, just not that easy to read!

So, I gave up on that and am looking to purchase and ebook reader soon.
