Kobo Plus, a subscription service for accessing eBooks, audiobooks, and magazines, is now available in the United States and United Kingdom!
Let's Chat About Kobo Plus
subscription models can be a game-changer for readers and authors alike, but some creators shy away from certain ones due to elitism and time constraints. These hurdles leave out plenty of readers, especially those who reside in regions without specific retailers or prefer physical books to e-books.
Last week, Kobo stirred things up by bringing their Kobo Plus subscription service to the U.S., U.K., along with other countries like Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, and Canada. This move allows readers in all these nations to access thousands of e-book and audio titles for a modest monthly subscription fee.
You heard that right - Kobo Plus caters to audiobook enthusiasts too! Readers have the freedom to select an e-book plan, an audiobook plan, or a combo that suits their preferences.
Authors and publishers earn their due through a revenue-share model dependent on the time readers spend reading their work. Learn more about this insight here.
If you're already peddling your work through our platform, we reckon you'd be interested in peddling your e-books and audiobooks on Kobo Plus.
The good news is if you've already opted into Kobo Plus through our platform, your enrollment has been automatically extended to the U.S. and U.K. (Should you wish to ditch these new territories, merely log into your dashboard and decline sales in any regions of your choice.)
If you're selling on Kobo but haven't yet opted into Kobo Plus, the process is a cinch. Hop onto your dashboard, toggle on Kobo Plus as a distribution channel. Take note, there's no exclusivity obligation for your books or audiobooks to grace Kobo Plus - you can still hawk them everywhere! And there's no binding agreement to keep your content within the program for a fixed duration. You select the titles you wish to feature in the program and make them accessible to Kobo Plus subscribers. (To seats down territories where you don't fancy selling, merely decline those.)
Once you're on board, Kobo will automatically expand your distribution to new regions as they join the program. It's as simple as pie!
