Not Raven, but yes, those for the Nook work on PDN.

yes the nook version works. The free ones are great you will want to get the epub format when you go to the free sites. For example on feedbooks.com one of my fave free sites you can choose from various formats including kindle format and epub, for PDN you would choose epub. Which is also the format that the libraries use which allows you to use the library ebooks too.
Any site that offers ebooks in epub format will be ok for the PDN and most do offer that.

by the way I just got info that there is a new free book for the Holidays being offered at B&N here is the link, grab it while it is free!
Crush

Thanks Raven. I created my account and got the book you recommended. I forgot that I have to be connected wirelessly. I am visiting my folks and would have liked to have a book to read for the flight home but I can't connect to download. I thought I could hook up to the computer and get the book. Are any of the other sites a way to hook to the USB and get a book?

sure you can download it to the computer then either use the cable to connect the Pandigital to the pc and move the book over that way or if you have an SD card you can move the book from the pc to the SD card and put the Sd card in the PDN and get it from there.
There are good instructions on the user guide that is loaded on the PDN in the library that should help you.

I did it! I got "Crush" and then surfed and found a bargain on "7th Victim". Have you read any of his books? Didn't know which one I should read first! Thanks so much for you help.

I got 7th victim free also and another good free one they added recently is the Outlander book. One thing I have learned is to always read the little reviews about the free books because sometimes they are not full books only a portion of one just to get you drawn in.

No I am new to these authors, I have not stared reading any of the 3 I mentioned. I am currently reading Jeffery Deavers The burning wire, but I am about finished with it.

I check B&N searching for free ebooks on a regular basis because they do add new ones and sometimes they are major authors. But they do not stay on for free too long so grab them when you can. Also when you click on the actual ebook to look at it and the reviews double check that it says free there before hitting the download button, I got snookered once when it said it was free in the search list but did not notice on the actual page for the book it had a price and I had to pay for it however it was an excellent book and was only like $5 so worth it. I had never read that author and I liked her and plan on getting more of her books.

At feedbooks.com I go to the original books area and have found some really good ones there. I like sci fi books from time to time and they have a very good selection. I got pretty much all of Cory Doctorow's books from there free.

You are more than welcome just ask if you have any other questions.

I've read both 7th Victim and Outlander. Both are excellent books. Crush has the same protagonist as 7th Victim. Outlander is very, very long, and now that I've read it, I'm anxious to read the sequels, which are not free (of course).

everyone I know that reads one Outlander is hooked and has to read the series. That is one reason I have put it off LOL

I was going to start 7th victim as soon as I finish the one I am reading. Is there any order for his 2 books?

Crush seems to be a sequel to 7th Victim, so read 7th first. It is somewhat gory in places but held me spellbound.

I'm just a few chapters into Crush now.

I went ahead and started 7th victim this afternoon and am already really into it, I think I will like this author. I did not get too far though since I decided to rest while reading in bed, that led to a nap LOL

Hey Raven! Yes, I am reading 7th Victim also....it is really good. I started it on my return home flight. Unfortunately I thought my battery was charged enough, but it wasn't....not the kind of book you want your reader to die on! By the way, while I was waiting for a reply to my original post here, I'd e-mailed B&N asking them if the Nook books were compatible with the PDN.....I got a reply telling me no, that they weren't!!! You think they are just trying to sell their Nook's? I'm really happy with the mine is working. Haven't figured out the Bookmark thing though. Any tips?

in your book you are reading tap up near the top right side and it will make a little blue ribbon icon appear that bookmarks that page, to see what pages you have bookmarked tap at the top of any book and the menu for the reader appears in there select the bookmarks tab and it will show you all your bookmarks. I always bookmark my page before I close out so that should it not remember my place I can use the bookmark.

Well B&N are linked with the PDN also that is the store associated with it and they have their store icon on the PDN so they should be wanting them to sell as well. You may have just got someone that did not know what they were talking about. Obviously since yes nook books do indeed work on the PDN LOL

The one thing I wish was that the battery life was longer however I have not had mine die on me while reading. If you make sure and turn off your wifi when reading or anytime you will not be using it the battery will last quite a bit longer. To do that just go to settings > network and turn off wifi. I just make a habit of plugging it in everytime I put it down so it is always fully charged.

I was at Bed Bath and Beyond this weekend, they have the Pandigital Novel(white) on sale again for $149 and there was a $20 rebate on it again, plus you can use their 20% off coupons. Brings it down considerably.

Yes, I noticed! Great deal for folks that want one. I got Outlander #1 as free e-book yesterday. I am still in 7th Victim though...have had company!!!!

My Kindle is on order...ordered it last week from Amazon...now get this..it ships in Mid Jan and can expect delivery in Late Jan to Mid Feb...lovely, what..and to think I am only a couple of hundred miles north of the 49th parallel...you would think I was on a mountain top in Nepal

wow that is a long wait but I know they do sell out of the Kindles especially at this time of year and there have been long waits in the past for them.

I am still reading 7th Victim also, too much real life interfering in my reading time LOL

I purchased 7th Victim from Barnes&Nobel to my PDN and can not unlock it. It keeps saying that my name or credit card is not correct. I called customer service and was told to put in a different default CC#, but it still would not unlock. Since the charge for the book is now on my CC, I don't think changing my CC# in my account is going to work.... I plan on calling again tomorrow, but thought I would post here to see if anyone else is having this problem.

TIA
Jean

it should not even have charged you because it is a free book at Barnes and Noble or it has been I know I got it free. Maybe they took it off the free list. I got both of his books free.

When I get one it shows up in my books list at Barnes and Noble and also on my Barnes and Noble list on my PDN and then I choose to download it to the pdn from the list.
I think I would call again and see if someone can help at B&N.

Lo and Behold. I was getting ready to call B&N again today for help to unlock the book, but before I did, I tried once more to unlock the book. I got the same message that my name or CC# was incorrect. I left the message on the screen, turned to my computer to go to my B&N account settings, then looked at the PDN and the book has been unlocked.....I paid $2.99 for 7th Victim last week.
Thanks for your input. I have downloaded a few free books from feedbook.com.

wow they did not leave his books on the free list for long I see that now Crush is also one you have to pay for. That is why when you see them listed as free you have to scoop them up fast! I knew they were only doing it for a short time for the Holiday. Glad I got them both free.

glad you got it worked out Jean.

2 others that are still free as of now are these
Syndrome
Life Blood
both by Thomas Hoover I have both but have not read them.

and the Glades is still free, I liked the tv series but have not read the book yet
The Glades

I just looked through my library at B&N and many of the ones I got free are not free any more. I try to check the list weekly for new ones.

Raven..I just started to download to my PDN....life has been very busy since I purchased it...âº

I did download a free Crush to my KindlePC.....

I will check out the list of free ones you listed...Thank you.....

I am a PDN fan, tried to win over my SIL who was determined to order a Kindle for my grandson for Christmas. I told him about your issue of not receiving it til almost March. He tells me that he ordered one, night before last and that they tell him that he will get it next Tuesday. Where exactly do you live? He ordered the $189 one.

I had downloaded The Glades, and when I started to read, it is a screenplay from A & E and not a regular book, so I removed it. Was disappointed that was the case.

yes it is what the show was based on, we liked the show. Would have preferred if it was written in regular book form too.

Genes seemed to be following this thread, guess I should have started a new thread?

I just got an email from Pandigital about the new firmware update and the new features it provides. I am downloading it now to my pc it is a big one.

well after waiting for it to finish downloading it said it failed. Guess I will have to try it again some other time.

Raven, could you let me know what version of the update you get when you get around to redoing it. I got the same email today. I updated mine for the 1st time yesterday. I wonder if it's the same firmware version. According to the info in my settings, the firmware I now have is S10_09_23_B_PD......... I used the PC version and thankfully got it right the 1st time. I hope it's the latest version, tho I had no problem with the update, reinstalling my WiFi is a pain, usually takes me several tries-many many numbers and letters.

My current version is S_10_08_06_K_PD.

I just downloaded Version S10_11_19_K_PD. (70.5MB)....I haven't installed it yet....

Well, isn't my timing just perfect?

yes it is dated 11-19-10
sometimes the one you do through the pc update is not always the latest version, the one that uses the sd card so far has always been the latest. I have not tried to get it again yet, I thought I would wait a little while probably everyone got the email and was trying to do it then.

I downloaded and installed the SD card version, just in case I got the same version I had from the PC version. I got it downloaded and installed on the 1st try. It takes lot longer to download the SD card version but installs just as quickly. Even got my WiFi up and running relatively easily. I won't be as reluctant to do updates in the future, but I hope this one is good for a while. Thanks for the info Raven.

Who haven't I gotten an e-mail? Was I supposed to register? I don't know if I did or not, if I was supposed to!

this was the first email I got and there have been many firmware updates not sure why they sent out an email this time. I am registered at Barnes and Noble and that is actually where the email came from.

ok, I have an account. Should I do something?
