Pandigital Ereader Apps

Which is best, Nook Color or PanDigital Ereader?

I’m think of purchasing an eReader today and I would really like to know which is better. The Nook Color, or the PanDigital eReader? Keep in mind that I want it to be able to more than just read books. I would like something that can go on the web (using WiFi or 3G), downloads apps, able to watch videos, etc. And do not recommend the iPad to me, because that is NOT in my price range! So can someone help me? And, I’m also thinking about getting the iPod 4, but I alread have a iPod. But anyways, if you can help me, please tell me : which is better between the Nook Color & PanDigital eReader, and if I should get the iPod 4 instead of the other two. Thanks !

Hi, Taylor Johnson, 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.
