Kobo Stack is designed to be your single, central hub for all your digital content, regardless of their source. It simplifies your entire reading life by making it easier to manage sideloaded content and reducing manual effort, offering seamless access and organization that other tools often lack.

Kobo Plus is a subscription service offering unlimited access to a catalogue of more than 3 million eBooks and audiobooks. Kobo Stack, on the other hand, is a powerful platform designed to manage, organize, and enrich your entire personal digital library, including content from the Kobo Store, Kobo Plus, and other sources.

Sideloaded eBooks are eBooks that you acquire from sources other than the Kobo Store and then manually transfer to your Kobo library. These might include books you've received from friends, free eBooks from public domain archives, or digital copies of books you already own in another format. In contrast, eBooks purchased directly from the Kobo Store are automatically delivered and integrated into your Kobo library, ensuring seamless access and often optimized formatting for your device.

You can sideload eBooks and documents to your eReader by connecting it to a computer with a USB cable, or by using Dropbox or Google Drive. With a Kobo Stack subscription, you can also email them directly to your library with Send to Kobo, or upload them on kobo.com in your account settings.

Absolutely. Kobo Stack is specifically built to bring all your digital content from various sources into one unified library. It eliminates the need to juggle multiple apps or platforms, giving you a comprehensive overview of your entire collection.

Yes. Kobo Stack lets you capture, organize, and access all your notes and annotations, even from content purchased outside the Kobo Store, ensuring everything is always at your fingertips.

Kobo Stack employs robust, industry-leading encryption and strict privacy protocols to safeguard all your personal data. Whether it's your entire digital library of Kobo purchases and sideloaded eBooks, or your valuable notes and annotations, your content is always highly secure and accessible only to you, both within your library and backed up safely in the Kobo Cloud.

Yes! As an exclusive thank you for updating to Kobo OS 6 Beta, we are offering a 90-day free trial of Kobo Stack.

Integrate your full library and discover how Kobo Stack enhances your reading life. Your billing will automatically begin after the 90-day trial period. You can cancel anytime during your trial without being charged.

Upon cancellation, your Kobo Stack account will enter a critical 60-day grace period. During this time, it is essential that you download your library content and export all your notes and annotations made on both Kobo-purchased and sideloaded eBooks. This period is your only opportunity to transfer your data before it is permanently removed.

For Kobo-purchased content: Any content you purchased from Kobo will remain in your Kobo account and can still be accessed, even after the grace period ends. Content already downloaded to your Kobo eReader or Kobo Books app will also remain on your device.

For sideloaded content and all notes/annotations: While sideloaded content already on your device will remain, all notes and annotations made within Kobo Stack will become inaccessible and permanently deleted after this 60-day grace period.

After the 60-day grace period, all Kobo Stack advanced features will no longer be available, and any remaining content, notes, and annotations stored within the Kobo Stack cloud environment will be permanently wiped.

Your entire digital library and all your notes are securely stored in Kobo Cloud, not just on your device. If you lose access to a device, simply sign into Kobo Stack on a new one, and all your content will be seamlessly restored.
