Latest news about Ebook apps
14.10.25. Kobo discontinued its desktop app
Kobo has discontinued its desktop app for PC and Mac, which was launched in 2010 and allowed users to purchase and read ebooks, manage books on their Kobo eReader and sync reading progress across devices. The first sign of problem was that the desktop app didn't work with new models Kobo Libra Color, Kobo Clara Color and Kobo Clara BW. And now the app can't download new books and Kobo redirects users from kobo.com/desktop to its online reader kobosetup.com. Their web reader was launched in 2023 as a response to Kindle Cloud Reader. It's known to be quite confusing. To use the web reader, you must log in to your Kobo account and it does not support offline reading.
2023. Nook iOS app adds Trends to track reading progress
Barnes & Noble has introduced a new Trends section in its Nook reading app for iPhone and iPad. It lets you track your monthly reading and listening progress. It features a reading/listening wheel that tracks the number of consecutive days you've been reading. In other words, Noble Trends is similar to the same feature in Kindle for iOS, which tracks the number of days you've been reading digital content. Users often share this progress on social media to show off their daily reading habits for years. I'd love to see this feature in their e-readers, too, not just Nook app.
