Read Comic Books on Your Nintendo DS (Joystiq)

Joystiq’s sister site DS Fanboy recently posted about a homebrew effort called Comic Book DS that lets you transfer comics from your computer and read them book-style with the DS flipped on end. You don’t have to conceal issues of Action Comics underneath an old copy of Newsweek that you swiped off your dentist’s waiting table on your commute any longer. Now people will think you’re doing some serious work on your stylish PDA while you secretly use the touchscreen to pan and zoom on comic panels — pure genius. Comic book fanboys can rid themselves of their secret shame. -Kevin Kelly

[I may disagree with concealing comic books, but when Kelly mentions “Final Fantasy XXXIV: Tax Time,” I find it hilarious. BK]
