Pandigital Novel

The Pandigital Novel functions as a basic e-book reader for the exceedingly patient, but it's no bargain tablet computer, by any stretch of the imagination.

Attractive home screen UI. Android OS means it doubles as a low-cost tablet computer.

Dim, fuzzy, extremely stubborn touch screen. Sluggish, obtuse user interface. Buggy, despite a recent firmware update.

In Use, Quirks, and Conclusions Using the Novel was an exercise in frustration. My test unit was full of bugs, despite being delayed a month while waiting for a firmware update. Reading books generally worked OK, provided that I remained calm and...

Pandigital Novel eReader review: Pandigital Novel eReader

Pandigital Novel eReader

E-book reader with color touch screen; built-in Wi-Fi; access to Barnes & Noble eBook store; SD expansion slot for additional memory; Web browser and e-mail capabilities; displays images and some video formats; support for audio and MP3 playback.

Resistive touch-screen is problematic; extremely sluggish performance; interface could be more intuitive; overall user experience could be better.

The feature set of the affordable Pandigital Novel looks good on paper, but this color e-book reader and multimedia device is hobbled by its extremely slow performance and unresponsive touch screen.

Novel Reader

Pandigital, a digital photoframe specialist, understands the value of color in displaying images. It's no surprise then that the company is bringing color to eReader screens as it moves from digital photos to digital books. With a name like Pandigital...

The backlit LCD screen has both advantages and disadvantages. On the con side, texts easily gets washed out when hit by sunlight. On the pro side, it allows you to read perfectly in dim darkness or in low light situations. 800 x 600 pixel resolution...

Pandigital Novel review

If the Pandigital Novel were priced lower, maybe I'd be forgiving of its numerous faults. For those that need a portable device and who don't have a smartphone, I can see where this might have appeal at first blush. It's a first, positive step into the...

Fantastic price!!! Horrible processing of PDF's

Great price on this tablet! I had to get it for $19.00US. Its only blaring problem is that it is so slow. Like 20+ seconds to pull up a PDF page. Then when you click to the next page it takes another 20+ seconds. If you can put up with that (and trust...

A good e-reader at a fantastic price!

Works well, holds a lot of books, is easy to use, easy to load books onto, and is very portable. Only draw backs are grey scale screen (no colors) and outdated web browser. But since I already have 2 tablets that work just fine online, and since I...
