# Bookmark feature allows you to save your place in a book
# Download 10 additional books through Nintendo Wi-Fi connection
I love this idea. I mean, it’s no secret kids today aren’t fond of reading. They would rather play with their gadgets.
And while this isn’t “reading” in every sense of the word (as in you know, turning the book pages instead of scrolling down), it’s still a great idea for encouraging kids to go old school and absorb stories from literary classics. At least, some of the greater things in life are still not lost on them even as they’ve embraced technology like second skin.
