reading a few pages while you wait for the kettle to boil inevitably turns into having to boil it again once you’ve realized you’re 2 chapters in

Rolling back will permanently delete that lost data, which means that we won’t be able to restore it in upcoming updates. Our teams are working hard around the clock on fixes, and the next batch of updates will aim to resolve these issues as quickly as possible. (2/3)

Dear Kobo readers, if you recently updated to our beta software and then lost data such as your annotations, highlights, side loaded content, My Words, and so on, DO NOT roll back to the previous version and stay on the software version you’re currently on. (1/3)

the correct use of the Kobo Stylus is keep a running tab of red flags for the main love interest in your current read 🚩

my books don't just tell a story anymore, they tell my story 📖🖊️ annotating and highlighting has never been easier with the Kobo Stylus 2

Image 1: Split-panel graphic. Top half: an open paperback book on a white bed sheet with underlined passages, next to a rainbow-coloured sticky tab set with a small ruler and a pink-and-gold pen. On-screen text reads “Your favourite book habits? That’s what Kobo’s for.” Bottom half: a Kobo e-reader screen showing a page with a chapter heading, decorative hand-drawn doodles, a highlighted passage, underlined text, and a stylus pen shown mid-annotation.

Image 2: Split-panel graphic. Top half: an over-the-shoulder view of a person marking up an open book with a purple highlighter pen. On-screen text reads “One shade was never enough. Give every thought a colour.” Bottom half: a Kobo e-reader screen displaying a page of text with multiple passages highlighted in different colours (green, blue and olive).

Image 3: Split-panel graphic. Top half: an open paperback book resting on a cream knit blanket, with a strip of black-and-white photo booth pictures used as a bookmark between the pages. On-screen text overlaid reads “Your bookmark collection can rest. Your page is saved with one tap.” Bottom half: a close-up of an e-reader screen showing text and a small progress marker in the corner indicating page position within the book.

Image 4: Split-panel graphic. Top half: a person's hands holding a book, viewed from above, with several small colourful sticky notes (pink, green, yellow) protruding from the top edge of the pages, one labeled “important” in handwriting. On-screen text reads “Your notes used to stick out. Now they're all stored together.” Bottom half: a Kobo e-reader screen showing a digital annotations list organized by chapter, with highlighted quotes and dated notes grouped together, plus small heart doodles.

It’s time for some Kobo confessions 🗣️ We asked and here's what you had to say!

[Image description: A carousel of a white Kobo Libra Colour and Stylus 2. Each image features the Kobo displaying a unique handwritten secret message on screen.

Image 1: Written text reads: Smut is technically romance]

[Image 2: Text reads: You don’t have to know the classics to be a reader]

[Image 3: Text reads: You don’t have to finish every book]

[Image 4: Listening to an audiobook is just as all encompassing as reading]
