π° What Happened
Kobo is launching a paid service that syncs your own ebooks across devices. It is called Stack and costs a few dollars a month. Amazon already offers a free version of this for Kindle.
You upload EPUB and PDF files up to 200MB. Kobo keeps your page, highlights and notes in sync on phones, the web and its e-readers.
Stack comes with a 90-day free trial.
π The Backstory
Kobo has long let readers copy files onto its devices with a cable. Syncing them across devices was the missing piece. This is part of a big 6.0 software update, now in beta.
Stack starts in Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Spain, but not the US. Canadian pricing is $3.99 a month.
If you cancel, files stay for 60 days before deletion.
π― Why It Matters
People who buy books outside big stores finally get easy syncing. Check the price first, and back up your files.
