it behaves like every other tablet, except that it's usually priced lower and the default "skin" is suited for the Kobo app. i actually quite like it, since i use mine 90% for reading books (the 10HD and 7HD), and no more than 10% for tablet use.

you can sideload books, i think. since i have wifi at home i think i only tried to do stuff using USB once. you don't need special software for it - the built in Kobo reader will handle them just fine as long as they are plain ePub files. if you have a Glo and will keep the Glo, then getting wifi would be very helpful since you can synch your reading position between the two devices - start reading on the Glo and finish reading on the Arc 10HD.
