Pandigital Novel eBook Reader Review

eBook readers are quickly becoming popular around the world as more people are becoming familiar with the undeniable benefits of using digital media rather than paper for their reading enjoyment. The obvious advantages of storing hundreds of books on a single handheld device cannot be disputed, so it not surprising that there a plethora of eBook reader models on the market today, in all shapes, sizes and colors. While some people consider eBook readers to be an unnecessary technical novelty, the Pandigital Novel is anything but, being compatible with many other kinds of third-party eBook files and software it is being called the ultimate eBook reader by many. At only about $180 a piece the Novel is not exactly the cheapest eBook reader, but it is definitely a fair price for such a powerful portable media device.

The Pandigital Novel runs on the famous Google Android operating system, which is quickly sweeping the portable market as the OS of choice in almost every new tablet device. The display is not like many of the conventional black and white, etch-a-sketch looking eBook readers, as the Novel boasts a 7 inch color display that is anything but bland. Surprisingly, thanks to the Android operating system, the Novel can do so much more than just read eBooks with the help of third-party Android apps. In fact, with a little bit of “technical manipulating” it is even possible to install apps that are completely unrelated to reading books, such as Gmail, Google calendar, Google voice, and even Google maps!
