While Kobo Plus Listen has been available for some time in Canada (CA$9.99p/m on its own or a monthly fee of CA$12.99 when bundled with Read), subscribers in Australia and New Zealand have a separate audiobook subscription service that’s not branded as Kobo Listen (AU$12.99 / NZ$13.99 per month). Kindle Unlimited ($9.99 / £7.99 / AU$13.99 per month) also gives you access to some audiobooks that have corresponding ebook titles in the catalog, but Kobo Listen works like Audible, where you get credits to ‘purchase’ audiobooks. Neither service lets you own what you borrow though, so once you cancel your subscription, you lose access to those books. Kobo Plus doesn’t have that limitation, so you can add to your library as much as you want. While Kobo Plus offers a substantial library, Kindle Unlimited currently has a larger catalog, but limits you to ‘borrowing’ up to 10 titles at once on loan.

There's also a 30-day free trial on offer in both the UK and the US, just like the other regions, so you can test out your chosen plan before fully committing. Pricing for both the US and the UK comes to $7.99 / £8.99 per month for either Read or Listen, or $9.99 / £11.99 for the full-fat Kobo Plus option that gets you both ebooks and audiobooks.

Following the model set up in Canada, both the UK and the US will have three different subscription tiers to choose from, with the choice to subscribe to only Kobo Plus Read for ebooks only, Kobo Plus Listen for just audiobooks, or both for a discounted price. Kobo Plus is the Japanese-Canadian ereader maker’s answer to Kindle Unlimited, granting subscribers access to a library of over 1.3 million ebooks and over 100,000 audiobooks. Finally launching today (April 5) in both the US and the UK, Kobo Plus was originally only available in six regions including Canada, Australia and New Zealand with a monthly fee of CA$9.99 / AU$13.99 / NZ$14.99. But wait, you need to keep reading…Īdditionally, Kobo has expanded its ebook subscription service to two major regions. Is this enough for the Kobo's newest notetaker to surpass the Kindle Scribe on our best ereaders list? The verdict is still out while we finish our Kobo Elipsa 2E review, but it’s looking like it could be a serious contender, especially as the Kindle Scribe appears to have a smaller set of writing tools than the Elipsa 2E. That said, the 32GB Kindle Scribe that ships with the Premium Pen costs $389.99 / £379.99 / AU$629, so the Elipsa 2E is priced very competitively, especially in the UK. The Kobo Elipsa 2E is a bit more expensive than the starting price of the Kindle Scribe ($339.99 / £339.99 / AU$549.99), however the Elipsa 2E does come with twice the storage than the base model of the Scribe, which also ships with just the Basic Pen. Preorders in the US, UK and Australia also come with a bonus $25 / £25 / AU$25 Kobo eGift card to spend on ebooks and audiobooks for your new device. You’ll be looking at parting with $399.99 / £349.99 / AU$629.95 to pick one up – and this price includes the Kobo Stylus 2 – with an additional $69.99 / £69.99 / AU$89.95 for the sleepcase.
