Yesterday Kobo announced the launch of a new ebook subscription service called Kobo Plus. Currently it’s only available in The Netherlands and Belgium, so it’s no competition for Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited, but it could be the start of something bigger. Kobo Plus is a collaborative service between Kobo, Dutch publishers, and online retailer bol.com. Here’s […]

Kobo Aura One In Stock Again, So is Official Sleep Cover
Kobo has a limited number of Kobo Aura One ereaders back in stock again. Both the US and Canadian Kobo stores show that limited quantities are available, while the UK store still says more stock is coming soon. Kobo had some for sale last week for a short time, so they might not last for […]
Kobo Aura One Covers and Cases List
So far Kobo has kind of dropped the ball on the release of their 7.8-inch Kobo Aura One ebook reader. It’s been out of stock from Kobo’s website for several months now, pretty much since it was released in September (yet it’s been selling from Chapters.Indigo most of that time). The official sleepcover for the […]
Kobo Glo HD Still Available for Cheap
When Kobo unexpectedly discontinued the Kobo Glo HD last fall after releasing the Kobo Aura Edition 2, it appeared that the Glo HD’s cycle had come to an end, especially after Kobo removed it from their website and stopped selling it several months ago.

Get a 7.8-inch Kobo Aura One eReader for $160 USD (Ended)
The Kobo Aura One was the best new dedicated ebook reader released in 2016, at least that’s how I feel about it (sorry, Kindle Oasis, but the benefit of the larger screen surpasses your expensive charging cover by a mile). Now there’s a way you can get the Kobo Aura One at a steep discount. […]
Kobo Aura H2O and Kobo Aura are $20 Off
Kobo has a couple of their ebook readers on sale at Kobo.com and at Chapters.Indigo. I already mentioned the Kobo Aura Edition 2 being on sale for $99 in a previous post, but it turns out they’ve got the Kobo Aura H2O on sale as well. It’s marked down to $159 at Kobo. I don’t […]
