The Kobo Arc still has the IPS screen, which has better anti-glare properties than the competition. It'll also be cheaper in Canada ($199.99 for the Kobo Arc, vs. $209.99 for the Nexus 7 in Canada). To me, the Arc is aimed at markets where Kobo is already strong (like Canada), and Japan where Rakuten needs a tablet.
