1. It's smaller, but the screen is the same size I believe.
2. You need an R4 DS card and a Micro SD card.

You download games from torrent sites, Mininova has a lot. I'm not sure where you can get homebrew software, but you can do an internet search. You put the files on your DS, then you stick the MicroSD in the R4, and the R4 in the DS.

3. The underground markets Yongsan have good deals. Don't go to the main building. My friend was quoted a price of 225,000 - 250,000 for a DS Lite, R4 DS, Micro SD, and a Wi-Fi USB connector. They also have a good selection of games if you don't want to download.

4. The R4 can read e-books. The DS can connect through the internet through wireless, but for some reason doesn't work with the wireless connections found most places in Korea. If you don't have a wireless router, buy the Wi-Fi USB connector I mentioned above. It'll allow your DS to connect to your computers internet connection. The DS itself can't browse the internet, just play games, but recently an Internet Browser has been released in Japan, and an English version will be released in June.

1. DS Lite has a backlit screen and better battery life than the DS.

I'm not sure about the battery life, but they both have a backlit screen.
