I am not adept and had no problems.

The various custom firmwares are all supposed to be pretty good. They're probably you're best bet to start with (nchntrman's is pretty much all-in-one and the least buggy)


I chose to update to the November official pandigital firmware (because of reports that the reader works better in it) and I added the alternate homescreen patch, the volume key patch, and the "change the SDK to 8" patch so I could add Adobe X pdf reader.

I use mine exclusively as an ereader and it works great. The built in reader works very well for ePubs and officially released PDF books. Adobe X handles scanned pdfs like a champ.

Good luck and congrats on a great buy.
(I'm so happy that back in Sept I planned to get a K3 for 140 bucks, but it's worked out that I got both an eink reader and a little tablet/PDF reader for less than that price combined!)

I found a new Pandigital Novel 7" ereader @ Kohl's today for $59.99 - since I already have one this is a backup.

My current one has the 9/23 PDN update, along with the nchntrman's 9/23 android program for the PDN. I upgraded the microSD and SD cards with 16 GB (class 10) cards, as the max the PDN will accept is 32 GB.

Everything is working well. I can access the android programs and the PDN programs whenever I want. As the PDN already has the Barnes and Noble ebook access, my freebie library is stocked to the gills. With the nchntrman's programming I was able to add the Kindle app, as well as the ereader (ereader/fictionwise) android app so I can read the few .pdb formatted books I couldn't read on my Sony reader. The Kindle app works well, syncs fast with their service, and I'm excited with getting many new Kindle freebies and free classics.
