About Kobo
At Kobo, we embody everything you love about your favourite local bookshop, perfected for your modern life.

Because we believe stories shape who we are, and words can enhance and transform the world around us.
Why read with us? It's pretty simple, actually. It's because we offer much more than eReaders and apps. We're all about you, and what you love to read, because we love reading too.
