What the Kobo eBook and audiobook app is for
Kobo | eBooks & Audiobooks is a single app for reading eBooks and listening to audiobooks on a phone or tablet. It works as a personal library: the developer describes it as holding millions of titles that you can carry around on the device.
The catalogue covers mysteries, romance, nonfiction, fantasy, graphic novels, classic comics and children's stories. It suits readers who want one place for both print-style books and audio, and people who move between a phone and other Kobo devices.
Finding titles and checking what is trending
You can search the catalogue by author, title, topic or genre. The listing presents this as the main way into the collection, alongside browsing by genre.
A trending list shows the most popular eBooks, which the developer says is refreshed every hour. Titles you buy or add are kept together in the library, so eBooks and audiobooks sit side by side.
Reading and listening settings
For reading, you can change text size and style, switch on Night Mode for reading in low light, and choose portrait or landscape orientation. The listing names nine reading languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese.
The audiobook player lets you navigate a book, pause it and see how far through you are. A sleep timer stops playback after a set time, which the developer presents as a bedtime feature.
Syncing progress across devices and Kobo Plus
Your reading position syncs between the app, Kobo Web Reader and a Kobo eReader, so you can pick up a book on a different device at the same page.
Kobo Plus is the subscription layer. The listing describes unlimited access to more than 3 million eBooks and 400,000 audiobooks, with plans for eBooks, audiobooks or both, and says there are no long-term commitments. It also mentions exclusive originals that the developer says are not sold elsewhere.
