A listing for a new Kobo ereader turned up on the FCC website a few days ago so we can expect a new Kobo model to hit the shelves at some point in the near future (probably a few months from now). The FCC paperwork doesn’t reveal any specific information about the new device so […]

Another Uninspired Kobo “Sale” You Can’t Miss!
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.

Will Kobo Release Any New eReaders This Fall?
When it comes to dedicated reading devices, new models often get released in the fall before the busy holiday shopping season. Could Kobo be preparing to announce a new Kobo ereader soon? Kobo often releases new models at the same time that Amazon releases new Kindles. I think it’s part of their strategy to get […]
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 […]
