Harlequin offers books on Nintendo DS in Japan

Thirty-three titles will be offered with five of them being new titles and three of them being titles that were formerly available only on line. The books have been enhanced by offering some interactive features – a “concierge” that allows you to navigate stories by mood or type of heroine, character correlation charts and lists that are updated along with plot developments, narrative annotations including maps for locations, digital bookmarks, story recaps that bring readers up to where they last left off, a choice of background music, author introductions and images, polls on hero ranking, review rankings by other users via Wi-Fi connection and more.

We get Nintendo DS. They get Harlequin. I'm glad the best of our culture is going worldwide with more mobility.

Analysts say that the iPhone and particularly the iPod touch (and others like them) are going to kill portable gaming systems like the DS and the PSP.
