Where can I buy Kobo-compatible eBooks?
The easiest way to buy a book that is compatible with your Kobo is to purchase the books directly from Kobo’s store. Once you have created a Kobo account (a prerequisite for using your Kobo), you can login to it and browse the storefront from any device, including the Kobo eReader itself.
If you would like to buy books from a third party and read them on your Kobo, you will need to make sure that the book is in a compatible format, and is free of DRM (Digital Rights Management).
