The tech world is abuzz with the upcoming release of the new Pandigital Personal e-Reader, set to hit shelves this month. This latest iteration of the popular e-Reader comes with a host of new features, including a built-in memory card reader that accepts up to 32GB memory cards, a virtual touch screen keyboard, and a Sipex e-ink touch screen.

The new eReader also boasts stereo speakers and a headphone jack, a 6-inch screen with a display resolution of 800 x 600, and 2GB of internal memory. It's also integrated with the Barnes & Noble eBookstore and can read PDF and ePub formats.

However, the release date of the new Personal e-Reader does not specify if it has resolved the initial firmware and software bugs that plagued the original model, released around 2010. The first Pandigital Novel eReader was notorious for hardware and software issues, such as sluggish performance and limited support.

Despite extensive online searches, there is no widely documented or notable record of firmware or software issues specifically impacting the "Pandigital Novel Personal e-Reader" model that succeeded or replaced the original. However, it's worth noting that the color touch screen version of the new eReader has reportedly resolved these issues.

It's also unclear if the new Pandigital Personal e-Reader has undergone a recall like the initial release. For detailed, device-specific firmware issue history, checking user forums or support resources dedicated to the Pandigital Novel might provide insights not covered in general search results.

The new eReader retails for $199.99 and comes with integrated WIFI. The price, along with its features, make it an attractive option for avid readers looking for a portable, affordable e-Reading solution. However, potential buyers may want to consider the eReader's past issues before making a purchase decision.
