Does this seem like a good purchase choice?


Question Posted Wednesday November 16 2011, 8:54 pm

I recently bought a Pandigital Novel. ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

I read the reviews for it and most of the reviewers either sort of liked it or hated it. Usually I would take heed to this and the many complaints but I guess you can I say I REALLY wanted an ereader/tablet. At the time I didn't have a whole lot of money other then some cash ($40) I earned from a data entry site and $50 I got from other assorted tasks. I was so thrilled when I finally bought it and excited beyond belief when I actually received it in the mail 3 days later.

The first thing I noticed was a very resistive and somewhat blurry screen that was next to impossible to navigate around with. The second thing was that it powered off and then back by itself only 30 minutes into it's first use. I also got the disappointing surprise of it having an unofficial android build which pretty much means it's not going to work with the android market or software updates because it's not really an android tablet but a cheap knock off. Luckily I know a little bit about hacking and fixed this problem. Anyways as time went by it glitched and lagged more and more to the point I just expected it to freeze and reset itself every 30 minutes or so. I tried so very hard to love it but as the next month went by I started loathing it. There were entire weeks that went by that I didn't even so much as look at it.

So last week I finally had enough of it after I had put it in my purse (with only a few pencils accompanying it) and when I took it out of my purse 45 minutes later it sported a nice long deep scratch right across the center of the screen. So much for an unscratchable screen. Within the hour I emailed the people who sold it to me and they let me return it for a full refund. I sent it back to them Monday so I should have my refund within the next week or so.

Now I should have a little bit more money to spend soon and I'm interested in buying this.

I'm not looking for anything like the amazing Ipad (my mom has one) but I want something that I can carry around and read books on,keep a personal diary in,play games on and search the internet with.


I think it checks out good but I want other peoples opinion on this. Does it seem legit? Like it's worth the money or should I just save up a little more and buy a Kindle Fire?

Thank you for any advice. :)

Hello.

The link you posted doesn't seem to work. Maybe you can re-post it on an edit?

But knowing what I know from what you say, I think it would be best to save for an Amazon Kindle. Its best to shell out a little more of something that is good quality and that will last, than keep buying a cheaper device that you may have to replace alot. But like I said, re-post the link, or the make + model, so we can give you more information. :)
