which one should I get the Pandigital novel or the Nook Color?
romirome83
I'm trying to figure out which ereader i should get for my fiance, so far the best two out there that I have seen are the Pandigital Novel and the Nook Color, the pandigital is priced at $150 while the nook is at $250 they are almost the same as what I have read but trying to get other people's opinion. Thanks to anyone who answers
Answer
Hello, omirome83, Pandigital device is OK (although cheaply made) but it would be better for you to go with Nook Color from Barnes & Noble which is a much nicer device with more features.
Pandigital ereader is using Barnes & Noble's eBook store but I'm not sure if it'll work with library eBooks (Nook can). It has worse screen resolution 600 x 800 pixels vs. Nook Color's Touchscreen 16 million colors with anti-glare coating 1024 x 600 delivering 169 pixels per inch. It has much less internal storage 2 Gb vs. 8 GB of Nook. It's heavier at 19 oz vz. 15.8 oz for Nook. It supports less file formats (EPUB, PDF, JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, MP3, AAC, MP4) than Nook Color (EPUB, PDF, XLS, DOC, PPT, PPS, TXT, DOCM, XLSM, PPTM, PPSX, PPSM, DOCX, XLX, PPTX, JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, MP3, AAC, MP4.)
Advantages of Nook include:
- Any Barnes & Noble store provides free Wi-Fi to Nook's
- Nook allows to lend Nook books for two weeks to friends and family or share with your other devices that run B&N app (PC, MAC, Android phones, Apple iPhone, iPod and iPad, etc.) Barnes & Noble allows (when you walk in with the Nook to B&N store) to read any available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi. With Nook, while in BN store you get exclusive articles from top authors, and great offers including cafe treats and unique deals.
- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for library ebooks.
- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for renting text-ebooks.
Nook Color a hybrid Android eReader/tablet device, something between Kindle and iPad. Even though Nook Color has LCD touchscreen, it's a new generation screen which is anti-glare coated and is better performing in sunlight and produces less glare all of which are dooming reading on iPad. Also, the screen is amazing and readable/viewable at wide angles.
Overall, Nook Color is more than e-Reader as you can also watch video and use Android applications on it. It's a hybrid device, much more than just an e-Reader but not a full tablet as it doesn't have a camera. If you want something more from your device (color graphs and charts of college text books, childrens books, photos and videos, web sites in full color) at half of the price of iPad or Galaxy tab, then Nook Color is your best bet.
Nook Color has several apps that already come with the device (Pandora Internet radio, QuickOffice, etc.) Also, Barnes & Noble recently released Nook SDK and Nook Developer platform that will allow most of the existing 100,000 Android apps be ported to it. Also, you can use the Social Settings screen to link your NOOK Color to your Facebook account and your Twitter account. You can also import all your contacts from your Google Gmail account. Once you have linked to Facebook and Twitter and set up email contacts, you can lend and borrow books, recommend books, and share favorite quotes with your friends.
