Donations, Online Shop, and other commercial stuff, oh, and the legality of
2007-10-12 00:00:00
I've decided to remove all of the commercial portions of The Moon Books Project. When I started this project it was to bring classic literature to the Nintendo DS, for people to enjoy for free. When I decided to expand to add movies which have dropped into the public domain I succumbed to the dark side. Yes, I started looking into banners, advertisements, paypal, ebay, and all that other stuff.I have to be honest here. This project would never have gotten off the ground if it were not for a very generous member of the DS homebrew community. Upon moving their systems up to include higher bandwidth to incorporate them into an on-line business I was offered the ability to really enhance The Moon Books Project past the 'blog' form it was at the time.I would like re-state the intent of The Moon Books Project, for anyone who is not familiar with it:We are here to make classic literature and films available to you, the users free of charge. We are also here to make these possibilities k...

Spread the word about Moon Books with Digg
2007-10-12 00:00:00
I've posted an article on the popular news website Digg . Digg works by allowing users to vote for articles to make them show up higher on the list of popular news articles.Anyways, to make a long story short, this should make The Moon Books Project more visible, if everyone votes for it to give the article a higher 'digg' rating.Here's our current Digg information:digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gaming_news/Read_classic _literature_and_watch_classic_films_on_th e_Nintendo_DS'; Update! Also, if you run a video game news site, fan site, book news site, etc... please post about The Moon Books Project. The more exposure we get, the more chance there is that an official Nintendo developer will take notice, and when that happens, who knows what could be next!So, tell all your friends! :) moonbooks.net/moonbooks/ is the place to come for movies and books on the Nintendo DS.

Welcome to The Moon Films Project ;)
2007-10-12 00:00:00
Not content to bring only one type of content! We now offer two types of content to the Nintendo DS community. Not only do we offer a vast library of literary material, we now offer a somewhat smaller library of the moving variety of material.That's right! Welcome to The Moon Books (and Films ) Project !Bringing classic books and movies that have passed into the public domain to the hand(held)s of you, Joe Nintendo DS User.Due to bandwidth limitations, only a few releases from the new film department will be available at a time. I will however implement a voting system so everyone can choose what they want to download next. I believe I'll make Friday new movie day. :) Everybody likes to catch 'new' movies on the weekend, after a hard week of school or work.Also, what isn't available to download, will be able to purchase at our new on-line store. At the moment it isn't pretty, but it is functional. Don't get us wrong, we're not 'selling out' or anything. Everything in the sto...

Two New Moon Media Sites in the testing phase
2007-10-12 00:00:00
I have been working on a couple of ideas that I (stole) borrowed from a couple of popular internet phenomenas. The first is a social networking website based around the Nintendo DS, both gaming, and homebrew software and programming. It is called My DS Space The second is a user run news posting site based around the Nintendo DS, and DS homebrew where the users can vote on what is newsworthy and what is not. It is called DSigg Of course, with names like those it is obvious where I came up with the ideas, hopefully these websites will be of service to the Nintendo DS community (both gaming and homebrew).Brandon
