Kobo Launches 'Stack' Subscription Service for Ebook Syncing and Cloud Storage
Kobo has announced a new monthly subscription service called Kobo Stack, designed to allow users to upload personal ebooks and documents to the cloud. The service enables seamless syncing of reading progress, highlights, and annotations across e-readers, mobile apps (iOS/Android), and web browsers. While similar to Amazon's free 'Send to Kindle' feature, Kobo is opting for a paid model. The rollout is part of a major 6.0 firmware update and is initially launching in international markets including Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Spain, notably excluding the US. Pricing starts at $3.99 CAD or £2.99 GBP per month, with a 90-day free trial offered to new subscribers.
