The screen on the nexus 7 is not so great.


I will still go for a kobo Arc.
Are you going to pre-order one, or try to buy one in store when it comes out? The reason I ask is, I was told that some bookstores who stocked the Vox won't be stocking the Arc; apparently it's to be marketed a bit more like a tablet this time. So make sure in advance that your store of choice is going to stock it; if you're in Canada, only select Chapters/Coles/Indigo stores will get them, or so they told me the other day. I pre-ordered online with Chapters/Indigo. My suspicion is that the Arc will be far more popular than the Vox, and it will eventually be rolled out to the entire Chapters/Coles/Smithbooks/Indigo chain.

Seemed like a fair bit of interest there, actually, with lots of people commenting on the device (whereas there were no comments yet on the Nexus 7 on the same website).
