This thing play 99% of the codecs which you can find on a market this days. MKV, AVI, MP4, XVID it's even play DVD files quality of display is excellent.FM radio, MP3 player and E-Book reader: PDF,EPUB,FB2. FB2 is the best , most comfortable for this machine. What else you can wish for $110. It's a steal! The only con. you have to brake big MKV files to a small one. And a small internal memory, but you can extended with Micro SD card. And it's not touch screen. But again it will coast you a $100:-}}}
