Pandigital Novel review. It's our guess that the Pandigital Novel has been turning quite a few heads at retailers across the US during the last few weeks. How could it not? It's got a full-color, 7-inch touchscreen, 2GB of on-board memory, runs a skinned version of Android and is priced around $180 (depending on where you're shopping). Oh, and it's got access to Barnes & Noble's e-book store. About one-third the price of the iPad, we sure can see the attraction, but after attempting to read an entire novel on it we can't help but wonder how it found its way past product development and into the stock rooms of Walgreens, Bed, Bath & Beyond and JCPenny, to name a few. Hit the break for our full review and to see just exactly we're talking about.

Screen and speakers E-reading and software experience Pros. Pandigital novel. Pandigital Novel FAQ. Pandigital Novel. Pandigital Novel vs Nook. Looking to purchase an ereader.Any input on the new panadigital novel vs nook, like nook for eink but love the color of thepanadigital novel... any input? Battery Life, Battery Life, Battery Life. Try reading the PanDigital in direct sunlight vs. reading the nook. I used to read eBooks on a PocketPC and thought it was great.
I liked the backlight and color screen, especially at night. BUT, I'd get about 4 hours of reading per charge and it was next to impossible to read in direct sunlight. The nook, while 'black and white' is far easier to read, it gets better in direct sunlight and it's battery life of about 10 or more hours is vastly superior. I'm so happy with it...that I'm selling off my PocketPC as that was the only app I used regularly. If you read a lot, the longer battery life will be a major consideration. Just my opinion, your mileage may vary. ---------Don. Pandigital Novel: A Color eBook Reader that Runs Android Apps. First and foremost the Pandigital Novel is a color ebook reader. Its 7-inch color resistive display (meaning you have to exert some pressure) provides a very appealing view of the Barnes & Noble online bookstore and a nice showcase for your library. You can even create bookshelves to categorize your titles. The model I saw was a pre-production unit, so everything wasn't working.
That said, reading is similar to using the ebook reader apps found on the iPad, though swiping to turn a page is more cumbersome with the resistive screen. What sets the Pandigital Novel apart from other ereaders, though, is its operating system–Android. When the Novel ships next month ($199), it will come loaded with a web browser, an alarm clock, calendar, a few games, a photo and movie viewer and music player (yes you can read and listen to music). The Novel has built-in Wi-Fi, a 4-hour battery (or 6 with Wi-Fi off) and 1GB of internal memory, which is expandable via its SD card slot. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
