If there's an interest in playing MP3 files, I recommend getting a cheap (under $30, possibly under $10 depending on sales opportunities) MP3 player. Ebook readers throw in MP3 ability as an extra, especially since many of them have text-to-speech and this means they need sound support; none of them are designed to work well at song libraries.
MP3s eat through the battery life; he'd need to recharge a lot more often if he's using it for sound. Better to get a device designed to maximize sound output for small battery life.
