store for eBooks, audiobooks, Kobo eReaders such as the Clara, Sage and Elipsa, and free reading apps. The steadiest saving is Kobo Super Points, earned on reading purchases and spent on selected titles, rather than a code at checkout.
Kobo is part of Rakuten, the Japanese e-commerce group, through its unit Rakuten Kobo Inc., which manufactures the eReaders. The devices use electronic ink screens meant to stay sharp in sunlight, and the current line runs from the 6-inch Clara BW and Clara Colour to the 7-inch Libra Colour, the waterproof 8-inch Sage and the 10.3-inch Elipsa 2E, which ships with the Kobo Stylus 2. Certified refurbished units and accessories are sold as well.
Beyond buying single titles, readers can subscribe to Kobo Plus or a VIP membership, read in the Android, Apple or web apps, and load DRM-free books in 15 native formats such as EPUB, PDF and MOBI. The company also runs a self-publishing platform, corporate purchasing, an eRecycling Program for old devices and a podcast called Kobo in Conversation.
