On a bright note, the accelerometer seems to have woken up from its slumber and is now working the way it should always have been. However, the Novel continues to be lazy as an e-reader and is still bugged with slow page turns in the Reader and Library apps. Also, post the update, the browser too is quite fast now. On a positive side, the Novel’s touchscreen sensitivity and responsiveness has shown a remarkable improvement, though only after several hard reset attempts while the WiFi too is finally showing signs of stability. Its performance might be found hovering from the average to the good as a Tablet device but things take a gloomy turn if its e-reader credentials are taken into consideration. So, does the new update promises to clear the mess? Well, there are some good news but unfortunately there are still some bad news as well.Ĭoming to the good aspects of it, the new round of tweaking of the software has resulted in the Novel becoming an Android tablet of reasonable proportions. The latest update is the latest in a series of updates that Pandigital had made available though none have so far led to what can be termed as a stress free experience with the Novel, something that you’d get from a Kindle or a Nook. That things isn’t exactly sailing smoothly with the e-reader is no secret anymore and the latest firmware update is an attempt to tidy up the matter a bit.

Here’s the latest e-reader news: Pandigital has released a new firmware update to make things a bit more easy with their Novel e-reader.
