Cons
Very heavy
Only kobo bought books stay in collections
No cloud option for non kobo books.
Not many formats natively (need 3rd party for pdf's etc)
No expansion slots

So in a nutshell perfect if all you're books are from kobo store, not so good if using side loaded books (I use Monsanto ereader for pdf CBZ etc).

The Arc 10 HD is on sale at Indigo ($100 off until March 27) and I'm considering getting one.

What is stopping me is an issue reported on some web sites regarding a wifi connection drop when sleep mode is entered. The Arc 10 HD loses the connection when awoken from sleep.

Reference:

Is there any truth to this?

Do DropBox and Google Drive work on the Arc 10 HD?
(To store all my non-Kobo bought magazines, books, and pdfs)

Are there any major app compatibility problems?
