I am looking for a reader that allow me to read my pdf's. I have an amazon kindle, but i am not very satisfied with the result. I am wondering if the kobo arc 7 is a good solution. If seen it in show off at some shops but not sure how good would it be for reading a pdf. Does anyone have an opinion? (Haven't been able to find a video review that talks about pdf's). It looks like a good tablet/reader, so i think it could be a good solution.

I don't have a Kobo Arc but my Nexus 7 is a better device for reading PDFs than my Aura HD. PDF reading is more or less an afterthought on the Aura HD while a couple of pdf reader apps on the Nexus handle zooming, text reflow, etc. much better.
OTOH, for my tech manual collection, I prefer to use my iPad -- for those pesky diagrams manual authors seem to love, the bigger the screen the better.
I do keep most of the manuals on all 3 -- you never know when you might need to refer to a manual -- so able to use trumps easier to use but not available at the moment.
