任天堂3DS能不能变身当红电子书？

    大日本印刷表示，初期的电子书只包含文字和图片。日本电子书行业分析师、Sakkam Press Ltd.首席执行官罗宾•伯特尔认为，这简直是浪费了3DS的彩色屏幕、高速处理器以及3-D功能。“任天堂和大日本印刷真不该这么天真。那300本电子书假如都是增添了音效和3-D效果的升级版本，或许能吸引到眼球。两家公司将感受到来自日本杰出地方（实体书）图书馆的激烈竞争，更何况还有数量众多的iOS以及Android设备。日本大多数小孩都能接触到上述两类设备。”

    任天堂之前曾涉足电子书，它在全球销售的某些游戏机型曾经提供可下载的“百本经典书籍”电子书套装。大日本印刷和任天堂表示，不打算在日本以外的市场推广3DS电子书。（财富中文网）

    DNP said the initial offering will be just text and image-laden e-books. Not a good choice for the 3DS with its color screen, fast processor, and 3-D capabilities says Robin Birtle, Japan e-books industry analyst and CEO of Sakkam Press Ltd. "Nintendo and DNP really should know better. Those 300 titles might impress if each was a souped-up edition using sound and 3-D effects," he says. "The two companies will find incredibly tough competition from Japan's excellent local [physical book] libraries, not to mention the numerous iOS and Android capable devices to which most Japanese kids have access to."

    Nintendo has dabbled with e-books before, and some of its consoles worldwide offer downloadable package of e-books known as 100 classic books. DNP and Nintendo said there are no plans to introduce non-Japanese children's e-books outside of Japan on the 3DS.
