I know y’all have heard about Kobo Plus, I am presuming, but in case not: Kobo Plus is nifty. And if you’re looking at Lara’s quest for indie/self pub historicals and wondering where you can find some tasty books to read, Kobo Plus can definitely help.
It’s nice to have options, isn’t it? Feels like there are fewer and fewer now.
Kobo Plus is a subscription service that allows you unlimited access to ebooks, audiobooks, or, depending on the plan, ebooks and audiobooks.
If the graphic isn’t legible for you, Kobo Plus Listen is $7.99US per month, and there are over 150,000 audiobooks in their catalog.
Kobo Plus Read is also $7.99US per month, and has over 1.5 million ebooks in their catalog, including some exclusives, and entire series bundles, too.
And Kobo Plus Read & Listen is $9.99 per month – both listening and ebooks, for $10. That’s a really good deal.
Plus, if you’re a new subscriber, you can try Kobo Plus for 30 days for free, and cancel any time.
I love a cancel any time – and if you’re someone who worries that you won’t remember to, here’s a tip. When you sign up for a free trial, set a reminder or calendar appointment for just under the free trial length, with a link to where you can unsubscribe. So if it’s a 14 day free trial, sign up, and IMMEDIATELY afterward, set a reminder or calendar item for 12 or 13 days from now that your trial is about to end, and do you want to renew? Helps me out immensely.
Today, Lara’s sharing the initial progress in exploring indie and self-published historicals, so let’s take a look at what historicals are awaiting you in Kobo Plus?
Lara’s list starts off with The Duke Who Knew Too Much by Grace Callaway. The ebook is Free at Kobo – but the audiobook is included in Kobo Plus!
And, much of Grace Callaway’s backlist is included in Kobo Plus as well.
Rose Lerner is also in Kobo Plus! Lara started the Lively St. Lemeston series, and while it wasn’t a good fit for her personally, I know this series is beloved by many people.
And if you’re curious: there’s a boxed set omnibus in Kobo Plus!
Alice Coldbreath is also in Kobo Plus – the entire Brides of Karadok series, which many, many people have recommended.
Erica Ridley also has many, many books in Kobo Plus, and listen, if you wanted to hide out and read an entire series, the entire (ENTIRE) Twelve Dukes of Christmas series is available in two boxed sets:
Seriously, that will keep you going for the entirety of winter break. NICE.
Holly Bush’s Browns of Butcher’s Hill mystery series, which is set in Baltimore in the 1860s:
Emily Larkin has several books inside Kobo Plus:
…as does Celia Lake – a favorite of reviewer Catherine Heloise, of blessed memory, who reviewed Eclipse and loved it.
Point being, if you’re looking for historicals to read while you make a blanket fort in the northern hemisphere, or turn on the fan if you’re in the southern, you’ve got options in your subscription services.
