I saw a deal on Kobo’s website and it made me laugh. They have an ongoing promotion that ends on September 21st where you can get 30% off a SleepCover when buying a Kobo Libra 2. Wow, they’re really going all out on that deal. If you spend $190 on a Kobo Libra 2 and […]

Kobo Customers are Calling for a New Kobo Mini
A couple weeks ago I posted an article asking if Kobo will release any new ereaders this fall, and a surprising number of people are hoping for a new Kobo Mini. This isn’t the first time this has come up either. When it comes to new Kobo releases, people have been asking for a new […]
Latest Kobo Software Update Fails to Fix Pocket Login Issues
Kobo released another software update for all Kobo ereaders earlier this week, version 4.38.21908. But now it looks like the update has been pulled because it doesn’t fix the problem it was supposed to fix. Judging by the release notes, the primary purpose of the update was to provide a fix for logging into Pocket […]
Kobo eReaders Size Comparison (Video)
Below is a YouTube video showing the current lineup of Kobo ereaders next to each other to help get an idea of the size differences between them.

Kobo Needs to Release a New Entry-Level eReader
Looking over Kobo’s current lineup of ereaders, most of them are still relatively new. They released the 6-inch Kobo Clara 2E last fall, and the 10.3-inch Kobo Elipsa 2E earlier this year. The Kobo Sage and Kobo Libra 2 were both released in October of 2021. There’s a chance Kobo could replace them, perhaps with […]
How to Use Custom Screensavers on Kobo eReaders
I came across a post on reddit yesterday with directions on how to set custom images on the screen when Kobo ereaders are turned off or sleeping, and it’s really easy to set up. Apparently the newer software on Kobos has an option to use custom screensavers but the feature is not being advertised. This […]
Why Don’t eBook Readers Have Reading Timers?
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could enter a time on your ebook reader when sitting down to read, say like 30 minutes, and then a popup notifies you when the time runs out? One thing I don’t like to do while reading is keeping an eye on the clock. It takes me out of […]
