Pandigital Novel Yanked Off Shelves For A Month

Pandigital seems to be encountering some issues with its Novel touchscreen eReader, and after promising a firmware fix, the company has decided to halt sales of the eReader, promising that the device will go back on sale in about a month. The hiatus will apparently be used to review the firmware that’s preloaded onto the device. The exact details of the problem weren’t mentioned, but hopefully the company manages to sort it out soon. Specifications of the Novel eReader include:

• 7-inch 800 x 600 pixel capacitive touchscreen display
• Supports HTML, PD and ePub files
• Wi-Fi
• Barnes & Noble online bookstore
• LendMe borrowing feature
• 1GB onboard storage
• SDHC memory card expansion
• Mac and PC support
