How to Convert Kobo Books to Kindle Posted on Dec 28, 2015 5 years ago, I never imagined that Kobo would be one of the top player in eBooks and eReaders market. But Kobo made it.

To my surprise, Nook and Sony fails in eBooks and eReaders business. Sony completely quit the game (they only make large screen eReader for professional use now), and Nook is on the edge of cliff. Apple makes a totally closed ecosystem, if we buy books in Apple iBooks store, we can only read them with iBooks app, what a shame, Android users and Windows users can’t have an iBooks app. Naturally, Kobo becomes the only alternative for Amazon Kindle.
