Yesterday, Facebook announced some changes to Open Graph that makes leaving Facebook to consumer content almost unnecessary. For example, we can now watch Hulu videos from within Facebook and listen to music services from MOG and Spotify. Reading is also a gigantic part of internet browsing and Facebook wants in on that too. Within the next couple weeks or so, Facebook will start flooding the internet with a “read” button that goes right alongside the popular “like” button.

One of the growing markets within the tech world at the moment is the e-reader, a futuristic answer to the book. Lots of manufacturers are getting in on the act following in the footsteps of the Amazon Kindle and the Sony Readers, it was only a matter of time till portable consoles caught up with this trend. It would appear that Nintendo is ready to go the e-reader route with their first eBook software allowing you read books on your DS.

The DS would seem like a good solution: it is small, it has a touch screen, it can connect to the Internet and many people have them which translates to a large user base.
