Looks like it came out in December of 08. Odd that Nintendo is just starting to push it now.

"If I already owned a DS" is the key. This won't be the killer app that makes an ebook aficionado buy a DS, but it might be the camel's nose in the tent that gets a DS owner to try ebooks.

I already own a DS Lite, and it's more portable (and I'm more willing to let it get in harm's way) than my 505. My DS will naturally never be my primary ebook reader, but it would be handy to have a chip full of books I could pop in and read when I'm stuck somewhere waiting for someone/something. Unlike my 505, which with its cover is the size of a small hardcover, the DS fits neatly into a coat pocket.

*sigh* I should have ordered it this afternoon. Now Amazon is out of stock on it.
