I'm not knocking the device at 60$. Heck, I called all my local Kohls and tried to price match to my local B3 as well. It just didnt work out. From feverhost's "how to root the PDN" video, he commented that the wifi wasnt working post root. That was what my comments were in reference to.

At $200 I would not of purchased the WPDN. Although, as previously said, at $60 it's a great deal.
Gentouch or WPDN... that is actually a tough question, and I can't answer that right now. The reason is I have not rooted it (and won't now, as it's my daughter's tablet now). The stock version I have is insanely sllloooowwwww, but i've heard the new firmware speeds it up quite nicely. I have tried to root it with 2 different firmwares, and was never able to successfully do it. It just hangs...
So I cannot answer that, unless I would root the Gentouch and see how much of a difference would be. I'm sure the Genotuch is much better rooted. Just as the WPDN is 100% times better rooted, than the stock image.

thats what i thought, but i completely agree with you at 60 dollars its amazing i would even say at 60 dollars its better then galaxy tab and all the tablets coming out soon, because once you hack it, it is a complete android tablet and sure it doesnt have some of the extras but you cant go wrong at 60 dollars thats less then a tank of gas for my truck. and i dont know why everyone is having a hard time with rooting this thing i have rooted 3 and it takes me like 5 minutes ( no joke ) and sure i might be more knowledgeable about these things then some others but i am telling everyone it is super simple. go here http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...6-8-20-versions-market-volume-hack-built.html download one of those firmwares i recommend ver 3. then go here http://www.pandigital.net/?PageID=335 and it spells everything out for you, the hardest part is getting the back off, but that site even has images to help

well on version 3 it seemed to be working fine, comparing the wifi strength to my m701r the WPDN is stronger. What exactly is the problem with the wifi?
No doubt we wont find anything this good for that price for a long time. Im really not trying to complain either. Just being objective with what i do annd dont like about it.
Im having a lot of fun with this.

So oddly enough, shortly after posting here, my pandigital novel had the sleep wifi issue. I tried restarting it and it wouldn't boot, it just stayed at the blue Pandigital Novel boot splash screen. After many reset attempts (paper clip), I went ahead and tried a reflash and the device booted fine. I had also been adding a lot of apps from the Market. Has anyone seen this before? I wonder if I installed too many apps and filled up the internal memory.

twivel: I've never had the problem about it not starting.. but I've had the WIFI issues from the beginning. I flashed with 5.0 then V5.1... still has the issues.
Both the "update" and the WIFI "fix" .zip's.. will not flash for me. So i'm kind of stuck with that.

I got a $149. literati ereader at bed bath and beyond, they too were clearance-ing out their stock of ereaders and tablets, The literati was only forty dollars, looking on the sharper image site they are planning on doing alot more in the future to add onto the literati, it has wifi to kobo,.. does anyone know of anything more that can be done with it?? It has an awesome display and is in color,.. I bought it figuring it was well worth the forty bucks, which after a week I find I'm not upset about the forty dollar investment. Yeah, I love a great deal!
