## Kobo Books & Audiobooks Reviews in Australia

### ****- "Kobo books"
4.5
-- Winseria, 2026-06-20

### *---- "No future for Kobo?"
As someone considering investing in the Kobo system I wanted to check it out but I discovered 2 dealbreakers: 

It seems like the desktop app for MacOS is being orphaned. It won’t run properly on Apple Silicon. And more importantly, they say “You can only export annotations from books that have been purchased from Kobo or Kobo Plus.”  

That’s a dealbreaker for me. If I can’t upload my PDFs and export annotations, what’s the point?
-- mijjb, 2026-06-15

### ***** "The stranger"
Great writing couldn’t put this book down
-- Odd mambo, 2026-06-11

### ***** "Excellent"
Kept me guessing till the end
-- The great taco lord!!!!!!!!!, 2026-06-06

### ****- "Good but no English to Russian translation included"
It's nice, clicking dictionary button and select dictionary to translate is a bit slow. Maybe make a triple tap on a word to enter translation
And yea, why not adding English to Russian dictionary, it is relatively common language
-- kangaroooman, 2026-05-31

### ****- "很喜歡，培養讀書習慣的好設備"
還是有許多書沒辦法找到
-- 身上有錢, 2026-05-29

### ***** "17 years later"
Great writing, easy to follow the story while jumping from different characters points of view. Great fun trying to figure out who was guilty or not.
-- Dream chip, 2026-05-27

### ***** "Great App"
The app is much more stable than it was in the past. Very happy these days.
-- ITParr, 2026-05-24
