Pandigital brings 7-inch Novel e-reader

It’s a new e-reader on market by Pandigital.Pandigital known as the brand among digital photo frame manufacturers.The e-reader is new foe this company.Let’s see what happen with this e-reader.

Pandigital’s best known for its hard, hard work in the game-changing digital photo frame world, but the company’s feeling a bit froggy of late. It’s latest leap is into the burgeoning e-reader market, and unlike those from Barnes & Noble and Amazon.Designed with convenience features that help reading enthusiasts get the most out of their eBooks and periodicals, the Pandigital Novel lets customers, with a simple touch of the screen, search for word meanings using the built-in dictionary, review past references with word searches, and make notes with the virtual keyboard. In addition, customers can highlight important text, create multiple bookmarks, and change the font size for optimum viewing.The Novel shares many of the characteristics of Apple’s iPad, which recently launched to great acclaim, including a full-color touchscreen LCD (800 by 600 resolution), the ability to use multiple apps for a variety of applications, and such multimedia capabilities as playing digital photos, music and some video content (at launch the device will not support Flash-based video).Novel boasts a full-color 800 x 600 resolution touchscreen, inbuilt WiFi and dimensions of 5.5- x 7.5- x 0.5-inches. The highlight here is the partnership with B&N, which gives this guy access to the bookseller’s eBookstore, not to mention the ability to share content via LendMe. Pandigital also throws in 1GB of internal memory, an SD / MMC card slot, orientation sensor, and the rechargeable battery is said to be good for a mediocre six hours on a full charge. The $199.99 Novel should be out and about next month supporting PDF, ePUB and HTML formats (yeah, there’s a web browser), and in case you were wondering, it’s based around Android and gets powered by an ARM 11 processor.So everyone what’s you think about Pandigital’s new 7-inch e-reader.

    Try contacting Barnes and Noble because this can be an issue that leads to farther problems.

  4. Tkeirns

    where can i find games to download to it?

  5. JohnL35

    You have to have download and convert to the Android Open Platform kit or do a hack to be able to download games. As is, you can’t download any games.

    In order for you to download a book you must have a Barnes and Noble account. This is how B&N will be paid for the book you want to download. Even if you want a free book you must have an account with them. To have an account you need a credit card and B&N needs that account information. If you are worried about identity theft you can purchase a Visa gift card and use it just like a credit card.

    you can down load movies from http://www.360Share.com it is sort of like the old LimeWire site. Just be sure to download MPEG4 format. I have loaded 3 movies so far on mine. They play great.

    Before I buy an e reader I would like to know if anyone has found one that you can play games or movies on.? Anyone???

  19. Hvette

    My daughter’s screen cracked on her e reader. Does anyone know where i can find a replacement screen? Customer service cannot help on this because they found that shipping it overseas to be replaced is more expensive than replacing the whole unit. HELP? I do not want to buy a whole new unit.

  20. Vetwing

    Help how do i get on utube?

  21. diane

    I got the 7″ color reader, imported a MP4 movie, it plays, but can only hear the sounds, no graphics, the screen is dark blank, why? please help…. thanks!

  22. Rngrpower

    reflash with the Polaris firmware. Then use SlidME to download apps.

  23. Duckysd

    The same thing happen to mine (it cracked on the inside of the screen and it wasn’t dropped). It was in my bag and may have bumped against something but it should never break that easily. I only had it for two weeks and Best Buy won’t return it even though it’s with in there “two week no hassle guaranteed period” so if you find out how to get a new screen please let me know.

  24. Bffltgta

    I’ve tried many times to download movies or games, but havnt had much luck… if u want something that will let you read, watch movies and play games, you probably want an ipid touch or ipad.

  25. Jaynaleflar

    well mine did the same thing but by total fluke of a water bottle falling on the edge of it and flinging it over the edge of the table and onto a cement floor. spider cracked up the whole thing. My aunt who bought it for me took it to best buy and argued with them for almost an hour. they gave her a new one no charge. but now that i hear that this is a problem i gonna be extra careful with it.
