But can we really access much with it?  None of the video on demand stuff is available here, is it?

Good luck with it. My missus has one and she loves it (the Kindle, that is, before we get any smart retorts).

One thing that seems great is the ad stripping web browser. kobo.com

On the chapters-indigo site is says "Kobo Arc is the only tablet that gets to know you, so you get more of what you love. Watch as the Discovery Ribbon fills up with personal recommendations based on the eBooks, magazines, music, and movies you've already collected. Pretty soon your Kobo Arc will be packed with tons of media recommendations you'll love, including things you never knew existed."

Sounds like spyware.

I would not get the indigo version for that.

It wont read my kindle for PC books.
