Cheaper than Kindle, NOOK, Touch interface, NOOKbook Store support, Reads ePub, PDFs, Web browser, MicroSD slot
Extra features of limited value, Lesser display quality than Kindle, NOOK, Purchasing titles takes patience
A little cheaper than a Kindle or NOOK, the Novel is an okay alternative to the e-reader leaders. But you will sacrifice a bit of screen quality and a bit more convenience. ...
Display has good color depth, Lightweight, attractive design
Resistive touchscreen not very responsive, Sluggish performance, Page turns slower than some e-Ink eReaders, Mediocre multimedia playback, Can't sideload apps
What should you expect from a $199 color screen eReader? More than this.
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.
The Pandigital Novel is a well specified but poorly thought-out device; it tries to be an e-book reader and tablet computer simultaneously, and fails at both tasks. Buy it now...

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.
Hardware: Simple! Only 2 buttons and a power slider, Software: Use your Barnes & Nobles account to access free books and samples from B&N online directly, Pretty good EPUB & PDF Reader
Hardware: Limited buttons means less compatibility for Android applications. (though not impossible), Software: Crude Built-in Organizer apps, Not currently able to access the Google Android Market for different readers/apps
