I bought this primarily because I wanted a reading device like the Kindle but with a backlight. I already have an Android phone so was familiar with the operating system.

Firstly, when I was checking out the details on Pandigital's site I wasn't sure exactly which model this was since the Amazon product description does not give much details (not sure where they got 72-70FW from. The correct model number from the back of the device is PRD07T10WWH7.


The unit comes preinstalled with the following apps:

• Barnes and Noble Ereader - found a site to get free ePub books so don't have to sign up for B&N but can still use the app.
• Web browser - full browser but does not support flash so videos won't play and that includes youtube.
• ES file explorer
• Officesuite - to read (not edit) documents
• Slide app store - this enables you to download applications. It is not the -Google Market and has limited number of apps.
• Email
• Music
• Photos
• Videos

I was able to install the Amazon Appstore app. However, I found some apps that it said were incompatible with this device. The workaround is to obtain the apk file from the web, load onto an SD card, put the card in Pandigital, open File Explorer, tap on the file and it installs automatically.

This is my second device. The first one would not connect to WIFI. I called Pandigital and they said it would need to be returned. I bought from Amazon so return was easy. The second device did not scan for connections. I set the screen-timeout to 30 minutes and then it scanned and connected fine.

So far I am very happy with the unit for my purposes which are reading, photo viewer and light web-browsing. Battery life seems pretty good (I turn WIFI off when not needed).
