## Kobo Books & Audiobooks Reviews in South Korea

### **--- "The update"
The new update crashes every time. Even just turning a page became difficult. About the notes: clicking on a reference in the text used to make it appear on the screen, while this update makes you jump to the endnotes pages. Then you have go back again to your actual page.
-- Kdlagrace, 2023-04-20

### ***** "Had trouble, but all good now"
Initially, my books would not load. I reached out the the customer support and they got back to me quickly and helped me sort it out. All good now and I’m impressed with the prompt service.
-- jkeisker, 2022-09-12

### *---- "Unavailable"
I can’t sign in my account on iOS. How to do it?
-- 18:638272, 2022-07-06

### ****- "本の種類の多さがピカイチ！"
Kindleに比べると本の多さは楽天koboのほうが多いのかなと思います！
すごい使いやすくていいのですが強いて言うならば
月額で本読み放題のプランがあればいいなあ思います。ご検討よろしくお願いします。
-- loovool, 2021-07-27

### **--- "Basic reader"
Pros: works
Cons: adding notes is very cumbersome; can’t buy books from the app; can’t use Apple pencil

Update 09.2020: a lot of books are not available to buy in Korea. Finding myself buying more and more from Amazon. This app is becoming useless to me. Rating down from 4* to 2*.
-- 캘루, 2020-09-06

### ***** "Good"
This app is so great!!
-- 합격기원, 2019-09-01

### *---- "I thought it it a good app until..."
I figured out I cannot remove any of annotations. I checked and followed your instructions for apple devices on your website however it just doesn’t work.
-- Yanu Song, 2019-05-04

### ****- "Very nice reading service!"
Good!
-- THK22thk@@, 2019-04-17

### ***** "I love this song"
Stan loona
-- orbitloona, 2018-07-23

### ***** "Very good!"
It is very convenient to read a book.
-- 시나그, 2018-07-21

### ***** "fantastic"
Fantastic app
-- Peterlee502, 2017-02-11

### ***-- "구매내역삭제"
구매내역삭제부틱드립니다
-- 아무나ㅏㅏㅏ, 2016-09-26

### ****- "心の薬系の本を"
初めて電子書籍で購入しましたが、いつでも反復して読めるので、良いと思いました。
-- 꿀2, 2014-01-14

### ***** "Good"
Good and easy to use
-- Beeeeeeeb, 2013-09-22

### ***** "일본책을 읽을 수 있어서 너무 좋아요"
제가 일본어 공부를 위해서 일본어 소설이나 망가를 일고 있는데요. 코보로 전자책을 구매해서 보니 너무 편하고 좋네요. 한국 컨텐츠도 있으면 더 좋겠는데 말이죠.^^
-- 많은 도움이 될 것 같아요., 2013-09-16

### ***** "True to the Original"
I left my Kobo reader at a family member's place and really wanted to continue reading the book I was reading in a portable format. Great app. While I do miss the e-ink of the reader, some graphic options for the iPhone app are far better. Certainly pictures come out better. I thought it would be difficult to read on the smaller screen - not at all. A different experience from the reader but highly recommended nonetheless.
-- Hughpc, 2013-08-21

### ***** "좋아요"
꼭 읽고 싶은 책이 있어서 찾아 다니다가 시중엔 재고가 없어서 반신반의 하며 받아봤는데 생각 이상으로 좋네요. 물론 종이 책이면 더 좋았겠지만 싼 값에 무겁지 않게 들고 다니면서 편하게 볼수도 있고 코보에 항상 저장이 되어 있어서 폰만 있으면 어디서든지 볼수 있다는 점도 좋네요. 여러모로 만족합니다.
-- Sirjacklee, 2013-06-26

### ***** "Easy"
Convenient tool
-- riziup, 2013-03-19

### ***** "Good"
It's free
-- 노을빛우정, 2012-06-19

### ***** "^^"
구입목록삭제부탁드립니다.
