It’s a shame Kobo is well dumb. They’re raising the price of their VIP program to $20
It marginally valuable at the old price. The free VIP books, I’ve never claimed one. The monthly discount. Never on books I want. So really the bonus points for purchases which netted me maybe 1 book a year were the main value.
There’s no way I’ll recoup my $20 though. So guess I’m done with that.
Raise the price without adding a single new benefit. WTF is wrong with you Kobo?
