According to an unconfirmed report, Nintendo is putting together applications to read digital books on the Wii U/3DS.
An anonymous software developer speaking to
Forget the Box states that the studio he works for has been approached by Nintendo to port iOS applications to the Wii U and 3DS as well.
3DS players would be able to read on the move, whilst Wii U owners could sit back with the tablet controller as a form of eReader.
The application would let players download books, magazines, newspapers etc with SpotPass being a likely feature for daily/regularly updated content like nationwide newspapers, for example. More gaming-related content would be be available - Virtual Console guides, instructional manuals for downloadable games and even a library of past editions of US magazine Nintendo Power.
