Customer Reviews

I have been messing with my Arnova for over a week now. I have talked to Amazon and Overdrive Media Console tech support to determine why it will not run the Amazon Appstore, Kindle or OMC app's. I bought this machine thinking I would have a reader that also acted as a tablet. Right now, I have a tablet that plays music and allows me to surf the net but it will not run any of the Amazon apps and I cannot get it to run OMC so you can download free books from the library. These are 2 of the most important reasons I bought the machine and they are not working.

The enclosed documentation is minimal, little more than a diagram of the controls. I have contacted Arnova twice via their automated support line and received no response even though it says you will hear from them within 2 business days. The device seems to start lagging once it has been on for a while, a shutdown and reboot brings it back but it is a pain. Public wifi is a headache but that could be the wifi too. Documentation is so bad you have to guess what is going on, for example, I keep dragging icons from the app screen to the home screen and have not been able to remove them.

In short, this is a device with a lot of kinks. If you are willing to work through them on your own the bargain is worth it. If not, get something else.

I recently purchased this item because it was on sale at an unbelievable price. I knew that I was not buying an iPad and that it would be somewhat limited by Android 2.1. However, I wanted something other than my iPod touch to travel with and felt like this would fit the bill. If I didn't like it I would give it to a family member. I just returned from my first trip with it. I purchased a case that included a tablet keyboard and stylus (the keyboard was smart move). First thing I must say is this: charge it up over night before attempting to use it. Once it gets the initial full charge you should be in business. Like a kid I plugged it in and started trying to use it...FRUSTRATING! Second, realize that this has a resistive screen meaning that you are going to have to press it harder than you would an iPod touch for instance. Get a stylus...it helps tremendously in this regard. For what I purchased it to do it works great. I use it to check email, surf the web for news sites, stocks, other sites of interest where I will not be using video. I am not a person who watches video much on web...I usually choose to read the news rather than watch it. Personal preference but I am writing about this as it fits my needs. It functions great. I was on a three day trip. Turned it on and off several times. Used it for 30-45 minutes at a time and it is still half charged (I forgot to take charger with me). The screen size and resolution is fine for me. I downloaded an app to write documents and it works great. I did purchase an SD card to use in it. I did attempt to watch a video just for the sake of trying it out and this was a little frustrating in the sense that I was not pleased with its performance. But again, not what I got it for so I am not upset. Just wanted to know what it would do. I have found a host of apps that fit what I want to use this thing to do. It functioned great other than the one time when it was updating the app library, I didn't notice that it was and attempted to do something that caused it to freeze. I just wait the 30 seconds for it to run thru its update when I turn it on and have had no problems.

IF...IF...you understand what this can do I think it can be very useful and inexpensive for a lot of people. If you think you are getting a cheaper iPad then save money for a real one. If you can live with what this machine was intended for then it can be a smart purchase.
