Kobo, part of Rakuten, is a reading ecosystem for people who want an alternative to the biggest e-book platform without giving up selection. It sells e-books and audiobooks outright and, for readers who go through titles quickly, offers Kobo Plus, an all-you-can-read subscription spanning more than 1.5 million e-books and over 150,000 audiobooks accessible on Kobo eReaders and the Kobo Books app. That subscription is the heart of the value proposition, and it is unusually flexible in how it is packaged. Rather than a single tier, Kobo Plus splits into Read and Listen at $7.99 per month each, or Read & Listen combined at $9.99 per month, so you pay only for the format you actually use. A 14-day free trial lets you sample the catalog before committing, and you can cancel anytime from your Kobo account. Frequent buyers who prefer owning titles can layer on the Kobo VIP Membership for 10% off plus Kobo Super Points on purchases. The trade-off to understand is the refund policy, which is strict by design for digital goods: e-books and audiobooks that have been downloaded or opened are not eligible for a refund, Super Points come back only if a title was never opened, and Kobo Plus and audiobook subscription fees are non-refundable except for EU residents, who get a 14-day window on unopened content. Physical eReaders and accessories ship with standard delivery charges by destination, while digital titles land instantly in your library. For committed readers, Kobo rewards matching the right Plus tier to your habits, using the trial first, and buying deliberately given the no-refund-after-opening rule. We gather the offers above from Kobo's official sources and review them before they're marked verified.
Begin with the 14-day Kobo Plus free trial so you can browse the included catalog before paying. When you subscribe, pick the tier that matches how you consume books: Kobo Plus Read or Kobo Plus Listen at $7.99 per month each, or Read & Listen together at $9.99 per month, so you are not paying for a format you do not use. Read or listen to as many included titles as you want each month on any supported device, whether a Kobo eReader or the Kobo Books app. You can cancel anytime in your Kobo account. If you also buy titles to own, the Kobo VIP Membership adds 10% off plus Super Points. Before purchasing individual e-books or audiobooks, choose carefully: once a title is downloaded or opened it is not refundable, and Super Points are returned only if the title was never opened. Subscription fees are non-refundable except for EU residents, who may cancel unopened digital content within 14 days.
For Kobo eReaders and accessories bought from Kobo.com, standard delivery charges apply at checkout and vary by destination. Ebooks and audiobooks are digital and delivered instantly to your Kobo library with no physical shipping.
eBooks and audiobooks that have been downloaded or opened aren't eligible for a refund; Kobo Super Points used for a purchase are returned only if the title hasn't been downloaded or opened. Kobo Plus and audiobook subscription fees are non-refundable except for EU residents. EU residents may cancel a Digital Content purchase for a refund within 14 days, unless the content has been accessed or downloaded.

US customers get a 14-day free trial. It is not available to residents of Quebec, Canada. The trial lets you explore Kobo Plus Read, Listen, or Read & Listen before paying. Because eBooks and audiobooks are digital, they are delivered instantly to your Kobo library with no shipping. After the trial, plans continue at $7.99 or $9.99 per month depending on the tier.
$7.99/month for Kobo Plus Read or Listen, or $9.99/month for Kobo Plus Read & Listen after the trial. The Read and Listen tiers each focus on one format, while Read & Listen combines both. A 14-day free trial lets US customers try it first. You can cancel anytime, with your subscription ending on the first day of the next monthly billing period.
Yes. You can cancel in your Kobo account; your subscription ends on the first day of the next monthly billing period. So you keep access through the end of the period you have already paid for. Note that Kobo Plus and audiobook subscription fees are non-refundable, except for EU residents under applicable rules. Managing the cancellation is done directly from your account settings.
Kobo Plus and audiobook subscription fees are non-refundable, except for EU residents under applicable rules. EU residents may cancel a Digital Content purchase for a refund within 14 days, unless the content has been accessed or downloaded. For everyone else, canceling stops future billing rather than refunding the current period. Your access continues until the first day of the next billing period.
Only if it hasn't been downloaded or opened. Downloaded or opened eBooks are not eligible for a refund. If you paid with Kobo Super Points, those points are returned only when the title has not been downloaded or opened. This makes it worth confirming a purchase before you open it. EU residents have an additional 14-day cancellation right, subject to the same access-or-download limitation.
