Using Original GameBoy Book Reader on GameBoy Advance

I was concerned that the Reader would not work well on the Advance, after hearing reports concerning the dark screen, but was pleasantly surprised. The widescreen mode (left shoulder button) makes the books wider and still readable.

When you think about this in terms of pixels it is slightly puzzling. I looked at the display under a magnifying glass and will report the interesting result here soon.
