Aww man. I like this device, and want to use it as a PDF reader, which the stock reader is atrocious at. At the bottom of the firmware page I found a link to the "Pandigital Novel Android Open Platform kit" and the following graphic:
So I think to myself...maybe this will work. Maybe I can get a third-party pdf reader that way.
Then I found this in scarlet red:
Installation of the Pandigital Novel Android Platform kits will void the original warranty of your Pandigital Novel Color Multimedia eReader.
Definitely not a good thing. Now I may return it.
