What is Kobo Plus?
Kobo Plus is Kobo's equivalent to Kindle Unlimited. You pay a monthly subscription to get access to a library of books, which you can borrow, read, and return.
How is it different from Kindle Unlimited?
Kindle Unlimited is $11.99 a month. Kobo plus is only $9.99. Both of those subscriptions give access to ebooks and audiobooks, but Kobo Plus also offers an ebook only or audiobook only subscription for $7.99. Kindle Unlimited limits you to 20 books to borrow at a time. There is no limit in Kobo Plus. Amazon forces authors to remove their books from all other retailers in order to participate in Kindle Unlimited. Kobo Plus allows authors to make their books available anywhere they wish while still participating in the Kobo Plus program.
How do I read books with a Kobo Plus subscription?
You simply download the Kobo Plus app on your phone or ereader.
Yes, you can even download it on your Kindle. Your Kobo books will be found in the Kobo app and not in your Kindle Library. Here's how to get the app.
Kindle Settings Search for "Install unknown apps" Select Silk Browser and allow it to download unknown apps. Open Silk Browser Search for the following depending on if you're in the US or UK (if you're in another country, replace the country code in one of these links) kobo.com/us/en/p/apps kobo.com/uk/en/p/apps Once installed, the Kobo icon will be added to your apps. Sign in with your Kobo account (or make one).
Kobo does not require authors to have their books exclusive to them to be in KP, so most authors who don't have their books in KU have them in KP.
Kobo offers a free trial, and if you're a fan of romance, then there's a huge sale happening right now that you won't want to miss. Go ahead and take a peek! |
