Kobo Plus Subscriptions

On kobo.com, select Start Free Trial on the item details screen of an eligible Kobo Plus eBook or audiobook. If you're shopping with us for the first time, you'll be taken to checkout and asked to provide your credit card and billing information.

You can also start your free Kobo Plus trial on a Kobo eReader.

You won't be charged for the first 30 days. After the free trial period, we'll charge you $13.99 a month for a Kobo Plus Read or Kobo Plus Listen subscription, or $16.99 a month for Kobo Plus Read & Listen, plus any applicable taxes, unless you cancel. Your credit card will not be charged if you cancel before the trial period is over.

Currently, Kobo Plus subscriptions are only available in select countries.

Free trials are only offered as part of a subscription. We require your credit card information to cover your recurring subscription charges once the free trial is complete. Your credit card will not be charged if you cancel before the trial period is over.

Your mailing address is required as part of your billing information so we can accurately charge sales tax based on where you live.

Yes, you can read offline. Many readers like to disconnect their devices from Wi Fi, either while travelling, or simply to save on battery life. You can read a maximum of 15 Kobo Plus books while offline over a 30-day period on a Kobo eReader or in the Kobo App.

Once you've opened 15 books, or reached the end of the 30-day period of offline reading, you'll need to reconnect to Wi Fi and sync your eReader or app. You'll then be able to open up to 15 Kobo Plus books for another 30 days.

Currently, Kobo Plus subscriptions are exclusively available in select countries. If you change your billing address to another country while you have an active subscription, you'll still have access to your Kobo Plus books until you reach the end of your current billing period, but you won't be able to search for or add new Kobo Plus titles to your subscription.

Once your current billing period ends, your Kobo Plus subscription will be cancelled. You can always renew it if you move back to a country where Kobo Plus subscriptions are available.
