As Dickens himself once wrote, this is both the baddest and the bestest thing ever: eighteen quid buys you one hundred classic works of literature for your DS. Devoting a nearly quarter of the content to Shakespeare’s plays is a bit of a cheat, though. That’s like padding out a collection of scores from great musicals with a bunch of noteless Cole Porter lyrics.

What about flashing the DS firmware, installing an e-book reader and then getting the books from Project Gutenberg?
(not that I’ve tried it).
If you can hack that in £18’s worth of your billable time, Tim, then you’re a better man than me. PDA owners can install Plucker, like I have, and achieve the same thing without doing any actual work or handing over any actual money.
Hang on…am I missing something – you reckon Shakespeare’s no good? Or no good without being on stage?
Shakespeare is wonderful, but it has to be heard, rather than just read.
I’ll probably sound bad now if I say I can hear it in my head when I read.
Looks like it won’t be available in the US. Damn. 🙁
That’s weird. It surely can’t be for copyright reasons.
