“I got a gift from my friend. It is a Kindle Oasis 3 because I am an eBook fan. I read eBooks on Kobo, so I want to know if I can read Kobo books on Kindle?”
As we all know, Kobo and Kindle are popular to many eBook users. Both Kobo and Kindle provide eReaders, Reader Software & Apps and eBook Store for reading. It is very convenient that you can read eBooks on Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android and eReaders. When you want to read eBooks on Kindle instead of Kobo, of course, you can purchase the eBooks on Kindle. But if you have purchased some eBooks from Kobo, can you transfer them to Kindle for reading or would you need to purchase again? Because both Kobo and Kindle have their own DRM protections on eBooks and you can’t read Kobo eBooks on Kindle or vice versa. In this case, I will introduce how to convert Kobo eBooks to DRM-free books so that you can transfer them to Kindle for reading.
