I have the PDN white. Wow-what a love it/hate it factions this device spawns. Yes, mine is hacked, but I got it knowing ahead of time that if I wanted any android capability it would need the hack. I also did not get it with the unrealistic expectation that it would be the end all be all tablet device either, because it's primary device is an e-reader. The rest are nice additions. I got it mostly to have as a dedicated e-reader, but I wanted one that I could put my Kindle books on, that also allows me to read B&N if it ever suited (I get gift cards a lot as presents), and e-pub is great too. With the hack, I have all of that, plus some supplemental freeware apps that do make it more like a tablet, so that is a nice bonus. I have the Asus Tablet netbook which I adore, and I like having a keyboard, but then also a tablet function when I want; but my surfing on the fly or before bed, I prefer on a netbook, though I am using my Novel for some light surfing too. But for reading e-books, I greatly prefer a thinner slate form factor, and the 7" Novel fits the bill perfectly, and at a price point that I think is fine, considering the added features, which I do use already. (photos, web browser, multiple e-reader platforms). Worth a little aggravation of hacking-which isn't for everyone. Easy for some, more involved. But again, I KNEW it would need hacking to have the features of Android, so the device was bought with that awareness, and also the fact that its main stated function is an e-reader, and not as an iPad rival.
