Okay, so you’ve probably heard about Kindle Unlimited, right?
But have you discovered the absolute gem that is Kobo Plus? Let me spill all the tea (or coffee) about why I adore this subscription service!
Yup, many of my books are available on Kobo Plus. More on that below.
What’s Kobo? A Quick Intro
First things first – Kobo is this awesome Canadian company that’s been giving Amazon a run for its money since 2009.
They make those super cool e-readers (some are even waterproof – hello, bathtub reading sessions!) and have become the second-largest e-book retailer globally. Pretty impressive, right?
Kobo Plus: The Netflix of Books!
So here’s the deal:
Kobo Plus is basically like having an all-you-can-read buffet at your fingertips!
For as little as $7.99 a month, you get unlimited access to thousands of e-books or audiobooks.
And if you’re like me and switch between reading and listening depending on your mood (or how many chores you’re avoiding), you can get BOTH for just $9.99! That’s less than the cost of a single new release!
What’s Great About Kobo Plus
Kobo Plus has changed many people’s reading life: (So lovely!)
- It’s a total budget-saver!
- No more “one book at a time” limitations.
- Mix and match your reading experience.
- The catalog just keeps growing!
- Read anywhere, anytime.
Is It Right For You?
If you read more than one book a month, love discovering new authors without the financial commitment, or just want to maximize your book budget, Kobo Plus is absolutely worth trying!
They even offer a free trial period, so you can test it out risk-free.
I am considering it myself.
Have you tried Kobo Plus yet?

Happy reading (or listening)!
Good review from TechRadar:
“Kobo Plus aims to compete with Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited by providing an ebook subscription service for its own ereader users. Both ebooks and audiobooks are available, but you will have to sign up for each either separately, or pay a little more for both. However, opting for the full-fat Kobo Plus subscription is only available to some markets in the platform’s already very limited reach. While the audiobook subscription tier works exactly like Audible, Kobo Plus doesn’t set any limits to how many ebooks you can borrow as Kindle Unlimited does. While we’re not sold on the individual tiers – getting both ebooks and audiobooks together is better value here – it’s good to have the freedom to suit your needs.”
