Why is Kobo Hiding the Fact Kobo eReaders Support Adobe DRM?
Here’s something I hadn’t noticed before. If you didn’t know that Kobo’s ereaders support Adobe DRM for ebooks, you certainly wouldn’t learn that fact by visiting Kobo’s website and reading their product pages and FAQs.

Kobo Just Raised the Prices of Their eReaders by $10 Each
Kobo has done it again. I noticed the Kobo Clara BW is now back in stock on Kobo’s website, but the price is $10 higher than it was before it went out of stock, and the price of Kobo’s color models are now higher as well. This is the second time Kobo has done something […]

If you’re one of those people that really likes the Kobo Libra 2 and missed out on getting one before Kobo discontinued it, or if you just want to get a backup, you’re in luck, sort of. Kobo is selling the Kobo Libra 2 directly from their website again, but it’s listed as certified refurbished, […]
Best Cheap Alternative Styluses for Kobo Libra Colour
The Kobo Libra Colour has quickly become one of Kobo’s most popular reading devices. The color E Ink screen is a big part of that, but the fact that the Libra Colour also supports stylus input and doubles as a notebook is a pretty big deal too, especially considering how much less expensive the Libra […]
