With Amazon Prime you are limited to 10 at a time. Stefan Krasowski, who blogs over at Rapid Travel Chai, notes: Keep in mind, it'll be hard to do any searching unless you're logged into the Prime account.)

(If you don't own a Kindle, these selections should still be available through the free Kindle phone or tablet app. There's even arcane LP titles like “The Honeymoon Handbook” alongside the more popular Shoestring guides included. It probably does not include every Lonely Planet book ever produced, but it's a large collection that includes destinations like Indonesia, Egypt and Madagascar. (Maybe time to expand that a bit, eh?)Īmazon launched Prime Reading last October, so it hasn't been around for very long. About 120 Lonely Planet titles are currently available, representing a huge 11 percent of the selection on Amazon.

The device has “weeks-long” battery life, 32GB of internal storage, and lets you listen to audiobooks via Bluetooth.Thanks to a cool Facebook tip, we recently found out Amazon Prime has been making an extremely large selection of Lonely Planet guidebooks available to its members for quite sometime through Prime Reading. It features a 10.3-inch, glare-free, e-ink touchscreen and comes with a $399.99 price tag. Kobo Plus was already available in the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, France, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.Īlong with the new subscription plan, the Rakuten-owned company also launched the Kobo Elipsa 2E e-reader. Notably, the company lets you read or listen to books offline through its iOS, Android, and desktop apps. This gives you access to titles across Kobo devices and the Kobo app. If you want access to both books and audiobooks, you will need to shell out $9.99 per month. At $7.99 per month, you can either read unlimited books through Kobo Plus Read or listen to over 100,000 audiobooks through Kobo Plus Listen. Amazon also offers a Prime Reading plan through its Prime subscription (which costs $119 per year) with a diminished catalog. This new subscription will compete with Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited plan, which costs $9.99 per month. The plan starts at $7.99 per month and gives users access to 1.3 million books (but not all titles) from Kobo’s library. Kobo launched its Kobo Plus subscription tier in the U.S.
