Newsflash: Kobo Plus Comes to Canada


Kobo Plus Rolling out in Canada

When you enroll your Kindle book in KDP select, you can earn page-read royalties. But Amazon will only let you enroll if you offer exclusivity to your book, and don’t make it available on any other service. So it’s refreshing to see that Kobo Plus (Canada’s largest ebook retailer) is going to launch its Kobo Plus page reads royalty arrangement in Canada.

Kobo Plus launched in the Netherlands in 2017, and was also introduced into Belgium. There has been speculation about whether it’ll expand into other countries, and now it’s been confirmed (thank you Draft2Digital) that the service is being rolled out to Canada – the home of Kobo.
