1. Facebook Recognizes Kobo as eReading PartnerA

In January 2012, Kobo was invited by Facebook to the launch of Facebook Timeline. The only official eReading partner, Kobo made it known to the world that it was advancing its social reading experience with Facebook.

22. Some Call it Self-Promotion, We Call it AMAZING!

Kobo is currently working on its self-publishing offering helping indie authors and everyday people share their stories with the world. With our commitment to social innovation, you know this is going to be awesome.

3. HTML5 – What?!

Kobo users on iPad or using Chrome/Safari (desktop) can now use the Kobo Instant Reader. It gives readers the ability to buy and read books in the browser – syncing to any device. It’s just more of Kobo doing what we can to help customers read the way they want to. A smartphone app is coming soon as well as support for IE and Firefox.

4. Facebook and Kobo DO Integrate Social Reading and eBooks

As the official eReading partner of Facebook, Kobo gives readers a way to seamlessly highlight text and post it to Facebook to generate conversations.

5. And We Go Even FURTHER With Author Notes

We’ve started a new program Author Notes, it enables authors to provide additional commentary in their books – the “director’s cut” if you will. Fans can now get more out of their fave books and share their thoughts with authors and other readers.

6. Kobo’s Read Freely Philosophy Appeals To Partners Like Facebook, Authors And Readers

In just 27 months of business, Kobo has captured the hearts of 8-million users across 190 countries with content in 60 languages and 2.5-million titles. With the ability to read on virtually any device – smartphone, laptop, tablet, or eReader – the fan base continues to grow at a rapid pace.

7. Music and Reading – It’s More Than Just Tunes

The Kobo Vox™ eReading tablet comes with the Rdio™ app to get the latest tunes while you’re reading. Even better? Kobo provides access to thousands of Android apps and with our much anticipated integration with Google Play (coming soon) customers will be reading – and so much more!

8. Open and Social it’s Like Facebook and Kobo Were Born to Be Connected

Kobo’s commitment to reading anywhere, at any time, and on any device is what drives us each day. It’s our passion to make reading a fun, enjoyable experience. Our partnership with Facebook is one more way we are transforming reading around the world.
