Pandigital e-reader

So I just found out I'm getting a free e-reader and according to the pandigital website, this puppy is running android
Just wondering if any of you devs have played with one of these & have gotten it to root & run stock android. I'd much rather slap a 32gb card in there & use it as a tablet than an e-reader

I have the 9" reader android 2.0 rooted like a breeze.. Just some basic stuff there.. The adb is fully supported I use Linux and can help if you want the magic for the USB port..
Other than that I have not been very busy yet with it..

Did you just root w/unrevoked? I want to install 2.2 for flash videos & hulu.

Does it work on the Pandigital 7" tablet?

I've just aquired the 9" version as well. Currently running eclair 2.0. It does have the SLIDE ME marketplace, but I'd rather have access to the real droid marketplace.
I imagine, since 1saleaday just had a special on these refurbished units ($99) that there will be lots of requests for modding them.
I'm no programming expert, but am really good at following directions, so be gentle. <snort> I know enough to ask questions when I'm stuck.

HELP! Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet?

Hello,
My cousin is visiting the states which means it's perfect timing for me to ask for a cheap tablet.
As usual it comes down to NT vs KF. Which device is more compatible with sideloaded android apps?

i think its the nook.. but im unsure..

neither... go get an Asus Transformer or something similar... you have more flexibility to do what you want with apps. The Nook only has like 1 GB for "personal user" space and the Kindle allows some side load stuff, but if you have to root you can say goodbye to Amazon video. At least that's what I rememeber reading lately.

When you say "sideloaded" apps, I take that to mean you are not planning on rooting the device. If that's the case you almost have to go to the Nook Color because of it's SD card slot where you can add media at will. The biggest weakness of the NC is the lack of a microphone, but it's the best 7 (meaning very handy and portable) tablet around (IMO). If you can go larger, then the Asus Transformer is the best - although quite a bit more money as well.
My personal taste for a small, knock-around, tablet is the Nook Color, rooted and overclocked and install apps like Netflix and it's a terrific tablet. You could do the same with the Kindle Fire but you would be lacking that SD card slot.
Either one would be a neat device. Used you can find Nook Colors on ebay for around 150.

How to 'borrow' books on kindle app

I'm trying to convice mi lady to move over to the nexus 7 from the fire, and she has 0 problems with it, as she is an android fan like me and likes the newest and baddest
that being said, she seems to be a little upset that she can't 'borrow' the free books from the kindle lending library without a kindle device...
so how can we get around this to borrow books from the kindle lending library?
we do have an older kindle we don't use, so maybe borrow one from there, and will it show up on the kindle app then?
and does google play bookstore have a similar borrow book feature? (doubt it)

Maybe by editing the build.prop, bit that requires root.. Btw, I would ask this is the Nexus 7 section

I borrow books on my Acer tablet via my local library and the Kindle App. The Overdrive Media Center app is the easiest way to do it. All you need in a library card and pin number from the local library. My only problem is that I don't have a large library system to draw from. Would LOVE to get the pin and card number from a huge library system like NYC or something like that!

Then Kindle app is limited. My wife wanted a couple of magazine subscriptions and they were only available on a Kindle Device. I think Prime is the same way and I suspect borrowing is too. We ended up finding a Fire on Craigslist to get all the functionality.

Kindle root

I didn't find a specific forum on the kindle fire hd 6" (mine is 4th gen), I apologize..so a move would be appreciated.
Mines the Amazon kindle fire hd 6" 4th gen . I installed Google play services and the others like sis say to, though I still get GPServices not installed errors and it don't work. I 've looked into rooting but I'm unsure a good safe way. Many tutorials from years ago..rather have a current one or someone who knows what they talking about maybe direct me to a good root tut.I'm guessing the 6 and 7 done the same way since most are about rooting 7 etc? Thanks for any and all help.

I give up

I've been trying to root my Kindle Fire without success for several days as well as my Galaxy 4 tablet, and it is just too much to deal with for a couple of tablets.
However, I've decided I do want a rooted tablet, something without all the bloatware and that isn't tracking every search I do or order I make to Amazon, or even an email I send to my doctor for all I know. So I 'm asking for help deciding what to buy, as you guys all know way more than I do about this stuff.
What is the best tablet to own if you want a rooted device? I'll be using it for gaming (Clash of Clans, nothing to graphic intensive) and the standard things like watching YouTube videos or maybe a movie on Netflix.
I kneel before the great android sages and ask for your guidance. What tablet would you buy if you wanted a quality device that was easy to root?
Thank you!

What are the specific model numbers of your kindle fire and galaxy tab 4?
What issues are you having in getting them rooted?

As for the Kindle Fire, nothing above Fire OS 5.1.2 can be rooted.
There are several threads about this in
