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.
Thanks

Any decent tablet should be good for PDFs, much better than an ereader in general since any decent tablet (this includes the arc) will have a comparable resolution or higher in many cases, colour screens help with pictures and diagrams, zooming and panning is much easier and faster in large part to the higher refresh rate of lcd or amoled screens. If you don't like the built in pdf viewer for whatever reason I suggest the ezPDF Reader app from the play store. It has great functionality and compatability (it's even fully compatible with many multimedia PDFs).
