Pandigital Novel Personal eReader gets epaper touchscreen

Pandigital has outed another two ereaders, and this time around they’ve gone back to basics and stuck with epaper displays. Unlike the Pandigital Novel, which uses a color LCD display, the Pandigital Novel Personal uses a 6-inch 800 x 600 Sipix/AUO epaper touchscreen, though you still get WiFi and a browser app along with PDF and ePub document support.

The two models are the PRD06E10WWH7, with 1GB of memory, and the PRD06E20WWH8, with 2GB. Each has a memory card slot, headphone jack and speakers, together with a USB port and a battery good for up to 6,000 page turns. The Pandigital Novel Personal will hit retailers this month, with an MRSP of $199.99. However the company expects that to be reduced to a street price of $179.99 from the get-go
