If you already have the Nintendo DSi-XL it doesn't take much to make it into an e-reader, mp3 player as well as movie (mp4) player. All for under $30.

Just add a flash card such as EZ Flash Vi and a 2+ gig Micro SDHC card - download the free software for the Flash card and away you go. You can even get a free movie converter, e-Book converter, various free e-book PC readers and a free ePub editor.

Installing DSLibri gives the unit basic ePub support. It will bring you back to where you left off in an open e-book. You can also add bookmarks, adjust font size, reverse image and there are several modes of switch pages. You hold the unit in portrait mode and use both screens to view the e-book. You can exit an open e-book to the main e-book Table and enter another e-book.

Unlike on the DS-Lite you do not have brightness control on the fly. This needs to be done before starting up DSLibri.

Not a bad setup for a multi media type of device with two 3.5 inch screens.

It also comes with a limited wifi Internet browser.

Add DSReader and you have a txt format reader.

Add DSOrganize and you can do your own file management on the unit.
