In our last article about Pandigital Novel 7, we reached to some not too rosy conclusions about its firmware quality and usability, lack of touchscreen response and slow page turns. It looks like Pandigital had reached the same conclusions and they are trying to fix the device. The latest firmware is available and the improvements are all across the board resulting in a more responsive touchscreen and a more stable WiFi connection. Page turns are still slower than Nook or Kindle for example but the accelerometer works now so you can use it in both portrait and landscape mode. You can download the new update here (version S10_07_04K _PD_INX7E_ENG_6410POP) and you’ll also find detailed instructions. You’ll need to have a SD card available.
