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.
