The picture section has a choice where a photo flys in while spinning and it shows smoothly. The main point I was trying to make is that the page turn can be sped up. It is not limited by the hardware. Typing is also fast. The other apps are pretty basic but they work OK. The book management is about as good as it gets compared to other systems but it is still poor. One thing I found that helps a little is that you can drop folders into the reader folder and add a bit more management through the USB side. Buy a stylus or sharpen your fingernails. A few of the buttons are almost impossible to hit with short nails. |

Thank you for the great points of view! Nate the Great and Cold Sun thank you for the informative sparring. I am going to pick one up today for my kids.

Battery life impacted by new firmware, or settable?
I'm new to Android, though not to Linux on PCs. I see rated life at 6 hours on the Pandigital (which is similar to what I see on the Augen "The Book" experiences summarized here.
Has the battery life been impacted by new firmware? Once apps can be installed, is there any app which allows for running in less responsive and lower power mode (other than the obvious adjusting screen intensity down)? I have turned intensity down, but the mid-July firmware (and that released first week of Aug) have a bug where the screen display intensity is "forgotten" across a suspend or power-down/up cycle. Clicking into "Settings" restores the previously set intensity without activating the control. Liberal use of standby mode keeps the Novel alive all day without recharge, nice! Especially since it doesn't charge through USB cable. Tx, Mark Last edited by 7tronics; 08-17-2010 at 01:08 PM. Reason: forgot to put in link...then forgot to note my experiences |
