Some updates, sales, and other stuff was recently announced by Nintendo and others.
First is a digital tool that allows saves to be transferable between physical and digital versions of 3DS games and has arrived with the recent 3DS firmware update. Another thing was an improvement to multi-tasking when it comes to downloading.
Quote:
• A tool that allows Nintendo 3DS users to transfer save data from the packaged version of a game to the downloadable version. Players that originally purchased a physical version of a game will be able to pick up right where they left off with their save data if they decide to purchase the digital version of the same game. Save data that is transferred to a digital game cannot be moved back to the physical version.
• An improvement to the feature that downloads items in the background when the Nintendo 3DS system is in Sleep Mode. Items will now download when the Nintendo eShop is running. Users can simply close the system cover to activate the "Download Later" feature and the game or application will begin to download.

Also included in the recent firmware update was a software repair tool although it only covers software saved on a SD card and not from DSiware.

A new feature that hadn't been highlighted yet is the ability to check and repair any software or application that you have. Go to the page for the software in question, select "More Details", then scroll all the way down to the bottom to find the Repair Software option.
