Thank you for your recent email concerning your Pandigital Novel.

We are aware that the Novel is not in the registration list. This has been brought to our attention and it should be added shortly.

With the current version of firmware, the auto rotate option is not able to work. You can however manual set the web browsing to landscape mode.
The novel is easier to navigate with use of a stylus. We are sorry one has not been provided.

At the very least they did not have a good quality control group. Otherwise this device would not have been pulled at the last minute. It should have simply been postponed. Postponing a product happens all the time. Pulling a product off of the shelves hours before it goes on sale and incurring the loss of $$$ advertising dollars for you and your distributors rarely happens. Pandigital clearly was not up to the task. I suspect that they are okay building photo viewers, but got way over their heads with the Novel. I also suspect the Novel is merely a photo viewer on steriods. The hardware has no page turning/navigation buttons. I'm glad they pulled it and I didn't get the chance to throw away money on it.
