FAQs
Does Kobo offer regular discounts?
If you're after ebooks or audiobooks, then yes, you can find Daily Deals as well as heavily discounted titles through the year. If you're after discounted ereaders, you will need to check in during major sales events like Black Friday, when some of the Kobo tablets do get discounted. You can also save money by opting to purchase a renewed ereader – these are also available on the Kobo site.
Does Kobo offer flexible payment methods?
While Kobo in Australia doesn't partner with any buy-now-pay-later options, it accepts all major Visa and Mastercard credit or debit cards. You can also use PayPal at the checkout. Apple Pay and Google Pay is also available as a payment option. If you have any Super Points, you can redeem them at checkout.
What are Kobo Super Points?
When you purchase a title from the Kobo Store, you can earn Super Points, but you have to be a Kobo VIP Member to do so. This membership costs AU$10 a year and will earn you 20 points for every dollar spent on any purchase, whether an ereader, ebook, audiobook or subscription fee. As a VIP Member you can get up to 10 times more points on special bonus days.
You can use your Super Points to purchase books and hardware from Rakuten Kobo, starting at 2,400 points, or you can put 4,000 points a year towards your VIP Membership and not pay the usual AU$10. Note that if you are redeeming Super Points to purchase an item, it cannot be combined with any other discount or promotion.
Does Kobo have a subscription service?
Yes, Kobo has Kobo Plus as an alternative to Amazon's Kindle Unlimited. There are three plans to choose from – Kobo Plus Read for ebooks only at AU$13.99p/m, Kobo Plus Listen for audiobooks only for AU$13.99p/m and Kobo Plus Read & Listen which gets you access to both media for AU$16.99p/m.
Can you get free shipping for your Kobo purchase?
Yes, if you've purchased an ereader or a book, your order is free and will arrive within 7 to 10 business days. If you need it faster, Kobo offers express shipping to Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland for AU$9.99 per package.
If you'd like to keep tabs on your package, Kobo has a dedicated Order Status Page to help you track it. You will also get an email once your item has been shipped with all the tracking details you need.
Does Kobo accept returns?
Kobo does indeed allow you to return your purchases. For ereaders, you have 30 days from the date of purchase to do so, but note that return shipping is your responsibility. You can head to Kobo's Order Status Page to initiate the returns process.
If you're after an exchange instead, you will need to contact a customer service representative via the Kobo Help Centre.

How we source coupon codes
Whether it’s through our affiliate networks, the depths of the world wide web, or our connections with big name brands, here at TechRadar we use every tool at our disposal to source the latest codes. Our coupons team updates each of our pages multiple times a week with the most recent deals, including exclusive coupons negotiated by our Commercial team. We also include the latest sales info directly from retailers to offer the most up-to-date discounts around.
How we test coupon codes
Each coupon you find on TechRadar has been tested before being uploaded by our dedicated Deals & Offers teams. You’ll see a range of offers, from free shipping to student discounts, with savings available on all kinds of products and services. To make sure every coupon is ready to use, we don’t list any user-specific or one-time codes.
We also include all relevant information about coupons, such as expiry dates and any terms & conditions, near the ‘Get Code’ button. You can see the details for an individual offer by clicking on the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text below the code and expanding the code area.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
Although we do our best to ensure all listed codes are tried and tested, sometimes coupons expire or T&Cs are changed before we can update pages. Our team works hard to make sure our coupons are active and work as intended, and should you encounter an issue when using one, we’ll work just as hard to help.
The best place to start is by checking the requirements. Click “View terms and conditions” to expand the code section and see any guidance on your chosen coupon. For example, you may need to meet a minimum spend, add other items to your basket to qualify for a multi-buy offer, or confirm that your chosen code applies to the items in your basket (i.e. 10% off laptops).
If you’re still having issues using your code, you can email our coupons team on ecommau@futurenet.com. Include as many details as possible – such as which code you used and which coupon page it’s listed on so our team can address your issue as fast as possible.
How we make money
When it comes to coupons, TechRadar earns money via a commission-based model. For every brand we have a coupon page for, we’ve negotiated a deal that means we earn a percentage of total basket value in commission back from every order.
Using this model means we can offer our coupons to our customers free of charge. You won’t pay any fees to add your chosen coupon to your basket – you’ll simply pay the final order total once your discount has been applied.
If you want to find out more about TechRadar’s coupons pages, you can visit our dedicated page on How We Source Coupon Codes and How to Use Them for more information.
