How to Read Kobo Books on Kindle
Currently there are all kinds of eBooks and e-Readers in the e-Market offered by various vendors, among which, Amazon Kindle and Kobo are the two well-known ones. For eBooks, one of the distinct features is that most of them are protected by Digital Rights Management (abbreviated DRM), which restricts users to read them with specific apps or devices.
Kobo books, for example, are Adobe DRM-protected ACSM files. They are kept “in the cloud”, or we can say on Kobo’s servers. We are limited to read Kobo books with Kobo e-Reader or with Kobo app installed on other devices. However, for various reasons, there are always some people who’d like to read Kobo books with other e-Readers, like Kindle, the most popular one.
As we all know, Kobo books can’t be read directly on a Kindle. For one thing, Kobo books are protected in DRM. For another, Kindle devices only support their own Kindle formats, such as MOBI, AZW3, PRC…. But Kobo books are typically in EPUB format, which is not supported by Kindle series.
Therefore, if you’d like to read Kobo books on Kindle, it’s a must to remove the DRM from Kobo books and convert them to a Kindle-supported format, like MOBI. Below we are going to show you how to make it step by step.
