With the Kobo Forma getting released last fall, the writing was on the wall, and now it looks like the Kobo Aura One’s run is officially coming to an end two and a half years after it was first released. Kobo has a weird way of discontinuing their ebook readers—they remove the product page from […]

The Kobo Forma is a Really Nice eReader Once You Get Past its Flaws
Kobo released the Kobo Forma in October 2018 so it’s been on the market for about 4 months now. Since posting the Kobo Forma review in November, I’ve had a chance to use the device a good deal and I’ve come to appreciate it more than I did initially. At first I was distracted by […]
Easily Install KOReader and Plato on Your Kobo eReader with One Click
One thing that’s nice about Kobo’s ebook readers is the fact that they are open to software modifications and users can choose to install alternate reading programs if they wish, including programs like KOReader and Plato. What’s nice is you can still use Kobo’s default software if you want to; the installed reading apps don’t […]
Will the Kobo Mini Still be Supported After February 28th?
Last month Kobo started sending out emails notifying customers about how they will no longer be supporting some older Kobo devices and Kobo apps after February 28th, 2019.

Kobo has started sending out emails to customers that purchased older Kobo devices and those with Sony Readers that have access to the Kobo store about an upcoming change that will be taking effect on February 28th, 2019. Older Kobo models, including the Kobo Mini, the Kobo WiFi, the Kobo Vox and Kobo Arc tablets, […]
3rd Party Kobo Forma Covers Finally Starting to Surface
If you have a Kobo Forma and don’t want to buy Kobo’s official cover, a few cheaper alternatives have finally started to become available online. Whoever’s idea it was to charge $50 for Kobo’s PU leather cover was crazy; they should be using real leather for that price. Even Amazon isn’t that greedy, and their […]
Why is Walmart Raising Prices of Kobo eReaders?
I don’t know what’s going on with the Walmart Kobo partnership but the whole thing hasn’t made a lot of sense from the beginning. You would think that Walmart would carry Kobo’s ereaders in stores for people to try out before buying, but that hasn’t happened. For awhile a few stores stocked Kobo’s lower-end model, […]
