1 GB RAM is just ... too small. I'd pay $20 more for another 1GB because I like the screen and size.

I think ARC 10 HD is perfect! But my hands are too small...

Be nice to people k?

Go Zoomers~~~~

Great prices, and it seems that the official Kobo ebay account is selling them. I might pick one up for my mom to use as an e-reader.

I would highly recommend the 10 inch if you have the money,
Custom rom support (cyanogen mod 14 (android 5.1.1)), 2gb of ram, faster processor, otg support

The kobo arc 7 hd is stuck at 4.2.2.
Its still a great tablet once rooted and the bloat removed.
The 7hd is painful to use stock.

I was thinking that too. But the 7" is only 30$ and these screens are beautiful.

The 10" is almost a little too large to hold w one hand. And large/heavy in general.

7" has a sharper screen and maybe more comfortable with how I hold it.

Did you get one?

Screen has a lot of micro-scratches when you tilt it at a certain angle. Visible scratches on back of unit, very obvious signs of usage. No damage though.

100% mint. Zero issues. Outer box was a little banged up, but I couldn't find any issues w the device.

Ie no scratches on the charge port, no dirt on the pwr buttons, no scratches on plastic body. And screen has no bad pixels and is new.

And the charger was new. It comes w a little wall charger.

I didnt get one from the ebay sales, but my family uses 2 arc 7hd and 5 arc 10hd. I know the tablet pretty well.
The screen on both of these tablet are pretty great for the price.
The arc 7hd is frustrating to use unless you lower the resolution, uses 0 background apps in the developer tabs or remove the bloat from the tablet.
I removed all but like 10 essentials apps and its fast.
Else the 7hd is super slow to uses its frustrating. Everything take like 5-6 second to load.

Here is a guide to root the tablet

btw if you root the 7hd, you need to use an older version of cydia impactor. The new version will not work.

Just purchase the 10" and 7" for kids.

Can someone direct me to latest CM for 10" model?
Not sure what the latest one is for the model.
