Best for: Kobo eReader owners and budget conscious credit users.
What it is
Kobo, owned by Rakuten, sells ebooks, eReaders and audiobooks. Its audiobook subscription gives you one credit a month, a couple of dollars cheaper than Audible.
Value
That small saving adds up over a year, and the catalogue covers most major publishers. If you already read on a Kobo, keeping everything in one account is convenient.
The app
Fine but not exciting. Downloads, chapters and speed controls all work. It lacks some of Audible's extras.
What we loved
- ✓Cheaper credit than Audible
- ✓Works with Kobo eReaders
- ✓Keep your books
Worth knowing
- –Smaller catalogue than Audible
- –App is basic
The verdict
A solid, cheaper credit plan, especially if you already use Kobo.
