Another PDN ?

14 years ago

This converting business is proving to be more complicated than I thought. I didn't have Kindle for PC, so I figured out that I needed that b4 Amazon would let me download the free book by Jana De Leon. So, I downloaded Kindle for PC, then Calibre. I then was able to download the free book from Amazon. When I tried to convert the book using Calibre I was told that it was DRMed. So, now it's my understanding that I need another program to unDRM the book. Is the Epubar DRM remover a safe download? I'm assuming it is or you wouldn't have listed it RC. I'm just checking.

I posted this question in the other PDN thread, but that's on the 3rd page already, so I probably won't get an answer there.

oh sorry never saw that yes you can use it there are a couple of different ones out there that do basically the same thing. Many free books do not have DRM but the ones that are just on a special one day freebie probably will have it.

However if you have the kindle for android app on your android device that is not necessary, you sign in with your regular amazon account info so it is exactly the same as if it were on your kindle it shows you purchased that book through amazon so it is fine as it is no worry with removing DRM at all. I personally would try to install the kindle for android app it is so easy to use.

The one thing you have to do is go into your settings and fine where it says allow other sources so you can get the app from some where other than the designated source on that unit. It has been so long since I used my PDN and I do not have it so I can not look up to see what app store was used it might be slide me, if so you should be able to get the kindle app there.

well, I moved TWELVE plants around today in order to tweak the design to include these PDN plants and the lavender! Isn't that the way it goes? You bring home a few and move a dozen! LOL Neither the crocosmia nor the cestrum wilted today being planted around 9:00am this morning. I was relieved since it got so hot. We worked outside until 2:30 when we just couldn't take the heat anymore. My husband mulched the garden today after the rain washed away most of ours over the last week or two. BTW, he has a degree in forestry and wildlife, so he loved those Dawn Redwoods at PDN. He pointed those out to me specifically.

I love mine too it has not worn off at all I use it every single day and especially at night to read in bed with no lights on. I have a library full of books on it and I have only paid for 2, amazing how many good new books you can find for free if you are diligent about checking often for new ones. You can find out about how to do the library loans here How To Get Free eBooks From Libraries Using Overdrive I still have not gone to get a library card here yet. And the pdn does have the Adobe Digital Rights it has an icon in the bottom bar for that. If you are just going to read and not be using it to go online go to settings and network and have it turn off the wifi the battery will last much much longer, I only do the wifi when I use it to surf online, and also making sure you have it fully turned off and not just hibernate will save battery, to fully turn off pull and hold the off on switch to a count of 4 then release and the power off dialog box will appear if that does not show up you only put it in hibernate. I leave mine plugged in on my side table when not in use so that it is always ready to go with a full charge and I rarely run low even when I read for a long time. Glad you are enjoying it!

Pandigital Novel 7' update?

vala unless you really want to use this thing as a tablet I really would consider NOT doing this update at least not now, I would enjoy it exactly as it is, it can do a LOT just like it is, I have not done the update on mine yet and not sure I will. I really like it as it is. If the time comes when the update seems to be working more easily and I really feel the need to have the other apps then I may do it or if I buy another PDN and do that one. Especially since you have not been using it at all yet, use it and enjoy it for a while before you get into an update that you may find very frustrating. I think everyone moving up to this update should definitely back up their current firmware or at the very least go into settings and write down what firmware version you have and your serial number so that should you need to revert back you at least know what one to go back to.

Raven, still problems with PDN

they don't usually send out a notice for the firmware it is up to you to visit the PDn site and look for new firmware updates to install. the directions for how to do the firmware update is on the page where the firmware is located, I would do the SD card method (option 2). You want to make sure you get the firmware for the white US unit if that is what you have. You want to do the update with the unit plugged in so there is no chance of battery failure. Power off the unit(make sure you see the power off dialog), insert the sd card with the update on it, do not open the zip file at all just put it as it is on your sd card then insert sd card in slot,Where it says to hold the power button and the volume button at the same time you need to hold it longer than they say hold it till you see the little android icon and the unpacking bar, it will not go fully across the bar but it will reboot, then check your version number to make sure it now has the new firmware. I worried when you said you had re-seated the internal card that sometimes has caused problems. It may be that you will need to return it and get a new one if the firmware update does not do the trick. You want to be able to use the wifi so you can surf and do email and that kind of stuff. All the directions on how to do the update and all other info can be found on your unit in the library in the book there that is the user manual, read it all. Firmware Updates for Pandigital the latest version on the site is 11-19 also at the top you can click to view the user manual and guides in pdf.

Thanks RC. I knew you'd get back to me once you knew I still needed help. I'm going to try the app directly to my PDN. I thought that getting the Calibre might be the easier solution, turned out not to be. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again.

I'm doing something wrong. Using the device I went to the Amazon site and searched Kindle for Android and downloaded and installed it. It seems that what I downloaded was the Amazon App Store. When I look for the Kindle for Android in the app everything bit kindle for android comes up

Yes you have to install the amazon store app before you can get apps from there. Same with the other app stores like slide me, but I think the pdn after the update has slide me already on it, if so you can get the kindle app there too. I will post a link to it for you.

Here is a link that might be useful: Kindle app

On the PDN, I used the website you provided, it took me to a search page. I clicked on Kindle For Android, the blue and black logo comes up on a page, but there's nowhere to click to download. I checked for the app on Slide Me and couldn't find it. Sorry to be such a pest.

This should be the direct link to the amazon store app for kindle for android
Kindle for Android

you will have to be logged in to your amazon account of course and go there using your PDN then click on where it says to get it now

here you have some other options for stores to get apps
7 Alternative Appstores for Your Android Tablet or eReader

If you have no success on those you might try getting one of the older kindle apps here from freelovers I have seen several reports of success when using one of the older versions, they will be listed down on this page.
Kindle for Android

I was just reading a forum where some people tried one of the version 1.0 versions which did install then were able to update to a newer version in the app once it was installed.

Either I'm hopeless or my PDN isn't functioning properly. I found the Kindle App on SlideMe and thought I had finally had it beaten. I downloaded the app, it only took a few secs. I went to Archived Items and a short list of books comes up. When I click on one, a full screen pic of the cover comes up, under that it says "Download Failed" under that there are 2 buttons, try again and cancel. I click on Try Again. The little circle goes around and around, it says "Downloading the selected item. it will automatically open when the download is complete". It goes around forever, nothing ever happ0ens.

Another PDN ?
