It’s time for another ill-advised internet rant. I like Kobo’s ereaders and their ebook store is a good alternative to Amazon, but as a blogger, Kobo gives me practically nothing to work with. They do like two things a year that are worth talking about. Last year all they did was release the Kobo Clara […]

Buy a Kobo Libra 2, Get 50% off a SleepCover
Kobo has a new promotion on their website where you can get 50% off a Kobo SleepCover when purchasing a Kobo Libra 2. It basically amounts to getting $20 off so it’s not a great deal, but $20 off is as much as Kobo ever takes off the Kobo Libra 2 anyway so it’s the […]
Kobo Should Add More Wireless Transfer Options for eBooks
I’ve seen some complaints about Kobo’s lack of options when it comes to transferring ebooks to Kobo ereaders wirelessly, and I think it’s a valid criticism. Most Kobo devices don’t officially support wirelessly transferring personal documents and ebooks at all. Only the Kobo Forma, the Kobo Sage, and the Kobo Elipsa officially support Dropbox. All […]
Get $10 Credit With Purchase of $50 Kobo Gift Card
It looks like Kobo has already ended their Valentine’s Day sale on the Kobo Sage and Kobo Libra 2, but they’ve added another gift card promotion to their website. The deal varies by location. In the US you can get a $10 credit with the purchase of a $50+ Kobo gift card. In Canada it’s […]
List of Kobo eReaders with Built-in Support for Library eBooks
One of the features that sets Kobo ereaders apart from competing ereaders is the ability to download ebooks directly to Kobo devices from public libraries that support OverDrive. All of Kobo’s recent models support this feature, but their older ones do not. All of Kobo’s ereaders support getting library ebooks through OverDrive, but only the […]
Kobo Sage and Kobo Libra 2 On Sale
If you’re looking to score a deal on a Kobo ereader, both the 8-inch Kobo Sage and 7-inch Kobo Libra 2 are currently on sale at Kobo, Amazon, and Walmart. Apparently it’s a Valentine’s Day sale, even though Valentine’s Day isn’t until February 14th. But at least there’s plenty of time for shipping. During the […]
Kobo Has Raised the Price of the Kobo Clara 2E
Earlier this month I posted about how Kobo increased the price of three of their ereaders by $10 USD each, and now they’ve also raised the price of the new Kobo Clara 2E by $10 as well. When the Kobo Clara 2E was released in October of 2022 Kobo was selling it for $129.99 USD, […]

To access the Kobo Web Reader you have to login to your Kobo account on Kobo’s website and then view your list of purchased ebooks. Below eligible titles there’s […]
