HARDWARE DEAL: Pandigital Multimedia Novel 4GB 7-inch Touchscreen Tablet

[SilverBear]

I'm not a "partner" who gets any $$ from referring customers. But as a computer repair & system builder for over 10 years, I've done a good bit of business with this distributor over the years. They are Reputable.

The hardware they offer here is something with which i have no experience. But it looks to me like it might be of interest to our community.

It has a very beefy battery! Since it's LCD and not E-ink, it'll need it. But for the price, I imagine it might serve some folks as a decent eReader --or as an auxiliary unit, if not your main ride. Android OS!! -- but only pdf or epub eBook formats are listed. IMO --but just guessing-- this could be a prime unit for hacking into a sweet piece.

PM me if you don't fully understand the specs. Again: I have no hope of $$ gain here. But if you're like my family, times are getting tougher. . . I'm just trying to do unto others the sort of deal info I'd like done unto me.

Caveat: probably not for newbs to Linux, hacking, NOR those not accustomed to generally having your way with mech/tech objecs.
