Kobo Arc 10 HD tablet replaces book collection and weighs like it

The 10-inch tablet ships with Android 4.2.2 and features Kobo's useful Reading Life software. Reading, exploring new books, and buying new titles is seamlessly easy and you don't even have to forgo a Google Play store.

The Kobo Arc 10 HD rocks an innovative faceted back that features a smooth matte finish. It feels comfortable to the touch and gives your fingers a more interesting, multidimensional surface to wander on.

The tablet houses few ports and they're all located on the top left edge.

The small speakers on the tablet's back produce weak and tinny audio with low volume levels.

Reading on the Kobo Arc 10 HD is a visually stunning experience that'll have you willingly regressing to picture books.

The red power slider takes awhile to get used to and there's a frustrating lag every time you wake up the tablet.

With its sharp and vibrant 2,056x1,600-pixel resolution screen, the Kobo Arc 10 HD begs to be used for more than just black and white text.
