help Kobo Audiobooks FAQ
Can I listen to Kobo Audiobooks on an iPhone or Android phone?
Yes. Kobo audiobooks can be played through the Kobo Books app, and selected Kobo eReaders also support audiobook playback.
What is the difference between Kobo Plus Listen and buying an audiobook?
Kobo Plus Listen provides access to a selected subscription catalog while the membership is active, rather than permanently buying every title. In the US plans checked, Kobo lists Plus Listen at 7.99 dollars per month and Read & Listen at 9.99 dollars, with regional prices varying.
Can Kobo Plus audiobooks be downloaded for offline listening?
The Kobo Books app supports downloading compatible titles for offline use on a supported device. Subscription access is tied to the active account, so downloaded Plus titles are not permanent purchases after cancellation.
Does Kobo Audiobooks work with Audible books or Audible credits?
No. Kobo and Audible are separate stores and account systems, so an Audible credit cannot be redeemed in Kobo's catalog. Kobo's service is operated by Rakuten Kobo and uses its own purchases and subscription plans.
