This is a curated list of awesome resources for Kobo users, based on similar lists for Kindle and Boox.

Suggestions and contributions are welcome!

• Reading ebooks from the Kobo store
• Sideloading ebooks via USB or (on fancier devices) Dropbox
• Integration with Pocket, for web articles
• Integration with Overdrive, for library books
• Listening to audiobooks from the Kobo store (on certain devices)
• Integration with Readwise, to sync highlights and annotations

Software that runs on your Kobo itself. These are usually installed by:

1. Pluggin your Kobo in via USB
2. Adding the relevant KoboRoot.tgz file to the /.kobo directory of your device
3. Ejecting and disconnecting your device, which will trigger the app installation

Note: Many apps have required config files that you need to fill out after they've installed. You'll need to reconnect your device to edit the config file afterwards, so don't forget about this step!
