The plan starts at $7.99 per month and gives users access to 1.3 million books (but not all titles) from Kobo\u2019s library.<\/p>\n<p>This new subscription will compete with Amazon\u2019s Kindle Unlimited plan, which costs $9.99 per month. Amazon also offers <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2016\/10\/05\/amazons-new-prime-reading-gives-prime-members-all-they-can-read\/\">a Prime Reading plan<\/a> through its Prime subscription (which costs $119 per year) with a diminished catalog.<\/p>\n<p>The Kobo Plus plan has three tiers. At $7.99 per month, you can either read unlimited books through Kobo Plus Read or listen to over 100,000 audiobooks through Kobo Plus Listen.<\/p>\n<p>If you want access to both books and audiobooks, you will need to shell out $9.99 per month. This gives you access to titles across Kobo devices and the Kobo app.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the company lets you read or listen to books offline through its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/p\/apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iOS, Android, and desktop<\/a> apps.<\/p>\n<p>Kobo Plus was already available in the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, France, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the new subscription plan, the Rakuten-owned company also launched the Kobo Elipsa 2E e-reader.
