With this unique product you can safely situate your tablet so that it is always in perfect view and ready to assist with your daily tasks. Fortunately Gomadic has come to the rescue with our unique Suction Cup Mount / Holder Stand designed for the Kobo Arc 10 HD Tablet. This extends from cooking in the kitchen to driving directions as we travel. As the explosion of apps has extended the functionality of the Arc 10 HD we need a holder that can give us equally convenient fingertip accessibility to that information at all times. The Kobo Arc 10 HD is more than just a standard tablet it is the keeper of recipes the player of movies the navigator of directions and the holder of the Internet information that we need throughout the day. All surfaces that touch tablet are lined with non-slip and non-scratch foam and rubber materials.

Gooseneck length is 7" (65mm) Firm but flexible gooseneck safely holds the Kobo Arc 10 HD and provides a stable and convenient viewing environment.Adjustable grips tailor to the precise dimensions (253 x 172 x 9.9 mm). Custom designed tablet base cradle for use with the Kobo Arc 10 HD device.This all worked as it should although the frame rate wasn’t always smooth on the 1080p MP4 playback. I tried this out with an adapter as well as 720p and 1080p movie content. Besides video playback, you can play music through the interface. Still, headphones or hooking up to a speaker system either with a mini-jack or Bluetooth will take care of those shortcomings.Īnother entertainment alternative is the micro HDMI socket, that sits between the headphone and micro USB port for charging and file transfer. There are EQ settings but don’t expect to hear more bass with any tweaks, just less treble. The speakers at the back are stereo – and you can hear the separation too – but in terms of volume, they appear to have been designed for use in a library, as they whisper rather than bellow. However, at about £40 cheaper than most tablets of this size and resolution, Kobo does at least make compensations.Īs far as audio-visual excitement goes, you have 1.3Mp front facing webcam, built-in mic and a headphone socket. There’s 16GB of storage on-board, but alas no micro SD expansion. Running the show on the Arc 10HD is a 1.8GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 4 T40S chipset and 2GB of DDR3L RAM. Reader-friendly shape and doesn't get too warm eitherĪt 253 x 172 x 10mm and 627g it makes no claims to be the lightest or the slimmest and has an angular, soft-touch back that makes it easier for the reader to grasp. On the 10-incher I have in my hand, these enhancements take advantage of the larger form factor, adding oodles of of eye candy with its 2560 x 1600 pixel, 300ppi display (a higher resolution than that of the the Air at 2048 x 1536 pixels and a 264ppi display). This window dressing features customisable Collections to organise content from disparate sources. Yet Kobo and co reckon that if you’re a bookworm at heart but want more than just an e-reader, then it can offer that little bit extra with some bespoke software enticements.Ĭertainly, Kobo has revised its Tapestries interface – first seen earlier this year on its 7in Arc tablet – to deliver an entirely different bookshelf experience on its latest Arc 7HD and Arc 10HD. Why you’d want to buy a bookseller-branded Android tablet over one provided by a seasoned tech vendor is another matter. Each has their own store too, with various format foibles. The likes of Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Kobo, to name a few, have their fingers in both pies, churning out e-ink one-trick ponies for the discerning reader with a glacial battery life chalking up weeks, as well as offering all-colour Googlefests on tablets that run for a matter of hours.
