Free Kobo Credits: $5 for New Accounts; $10 for Visa Checkout

July 10, 2015 by Nathan

Kobo Credit

Awhile back I posted about Kobo offering a free $10 credit the first time customers use the new Visa Checkout option that Kobo has recently added to their website. Apparently that offer wasn’t active yet even though Kobo said it was, but now it’s back again and this time they are advertising it on their […]

sony-to-kobo

Sony started sending out emails yesterday with links to transition customer accounts over to the Kobo ebook store now that Sony is closing the Reader Store. I received the email today and the transfer process was incredibly simple and took all of about 30 seconds to complete. All I had to do was follow the […]

What Do You Think of Kobo’s New Redesigned Website?

July 26, 2013 by Nathan

Kobo Home iPad

Kobo recently started rolling out a completely new design for their ebookstore. It’s not live everywhere yet; it seems to depend on where you live and which web browser you are using. For instance, I can see Kobo’s new website with the iPad, Android tablets, and and on my PC with Internet Explorer, but Chrome […]

New Touchscreen Ematic EB103 eReader with Kobo eBooks Looks Like Sony Reader Clone

August 29, 2011 by Nathan

Ematic EB103

I came across a new touchscreen-equipped Ematic ereader on Walmart, model EB103, that shares a similar design to Sony’s eBook Readers, although it has a color LCD screen instead of E Ink. Most websites that list this new Ematic eReader show a picture of the old non-touchscreen model; WalMart seems to be the only place […]
