Best Rakuten Kobo Discount Codes

Shopping at Rakuten Kobo for your next digital book or reading device comes with several money saving options. The lead offer on the page is the 40% off everything code, which is an excellent choice if you are making a larger general purchase across the site and want a straightforward way to save on your entire basket.

For a general shopping trip across the site, your best starting point is the 40% off everything code. This applies a substantial discount to your entire order, provided you are signed into your Rakuten Kobo account and apply the code at checkout. For example, on a €100 basket of mixed digital books and accessories, this code would save you €40, bringing your total down to €60. If your basket is smaller, consider the 30% off your order code. This also applies to everything and will save you €30 on a €100 basket, for instance, leaving you to pay €70.

When you are buying specific digital books or audiobooks, first check if your chosen titles are included in the 20% off selected digital books and audiobooks offer. This code offers a focused saving on a curated range, so ensure your items qualify before using it. If they are not part of the selection, the 40% or 30% off codes will likely give you a better saving on qualifying items.

If you are looking to buy a Kobo Libra Colour device, you can get €30 off with the specific deal. Compare this with the general 40% off everything code. For any Kobo Libra Colour priced above €75, the 40% off code will save you more than the fixed €30 discount. For example, if the Kobo Libra Colour is priced at €100, the 40% off code saves you €40, making the final price €60. This is a better saving than the €30 off deal, which would bring the price to €70. Should the device be priced below €75, the €30 off deal offers a bigger percentage saving.

For accessories like cases and covers, look at the eReader Cases, Covers and Accessories Under €69.99 deal. These items are priced as marked. If your total accessories basket comes to more than €69.99, or you are buying other items alongside them, use the 40% off code to see if that provides a greater overall saving.

If you are considering a subscription plan, the Kobo Plus Read plan starts from €9.99 per month, giving you unlimited access to a library of digital books. This is a recurring payment deal, not a single purchase discount.

For specific genres of digital books or audiobooks, you will find ongoing deals such as Romance Audiobooks from €1.49, Fiction Audiobooks from €3.95, Business & Finance Digital Books from €3.99, and Comics, Graphic Novels, & Manga Digital Books from €6.9. These are often already marked at their reduced price and do not require a code.

For the very newest digital books, check out The Biggest & Best New Digital Books from €0.99. These are typically sale items with prices marked.

To ensure you get free delivery, make sure your eReader shop order is over €30. This applies to standard delivery to Ireland and does not require a code.

If you are a new customer or simply looking for future promotions, sign up for the Rakuten Kobo newsletter. This is usually the best way to get special offers and promotions directly to your inbox for upcoming purchases.

Our records show that Rakuten Kobo had 9 offers on our page in the 12 months to November 2026, comprising 8 sales and deals, and 1 delivery offer. The 40% off everything code is a substantial discount, aligning with the larger percentage offers we have seen for the brand.

When choosing between offers, particularly between a percentage code and a fixed price deal or a sale, calculate which one leaves you with the lowest total price for your basket. The terms for the percentage codes state that only one discount code can be used per order and they cannot be combined with any other offer, so always pick the single best option for your purchase. Remember to sign in to your Rakuten Kobo account to use any discount code.

Rakuten Kobo sells eBooks, audiobooks, dedicated eReaders and accessories, with an Irish bookstore priced in euro. Its digital catalogue covers different genres and age groups, so you can browse for your own reading or find something for younger readers. Regular discounted selections cover both eBooks and audiobooks, while device promotions offer another way to save.

You do not need to buy an eReader to use the bookstore. Free reading apps and a web reader give you alternatives to a dedicated device. That makes individual digital titles an option if you want to start reading without paying for extra hardware.

For frequent readers, the Kobo Plus subscription offers access to an included selection of titles. Compare that selection with your reading list before choosing a subscription over individual purchases. The separate eReader shop also sells accessories and certified refurbished devices, which are worth comparing with new models if you are shopping for hardware.

Before using a Rakuten Kobo discount code, check which products and country store it covers. Sign in to your account to proceed through checkout, and apply the code before paying if the checkout offers a code field. Check that the order total reflects the saving before completing your purchase.

• Browse eBook deals: Compare the discounted selections with your reading list rather than assuming every title by an author is included.
• Check audiobook offers separately: The audiobook savings page has its own selection, so a cheaper eBook does not necessarily mean the audio edition is reduced too.
• Compare Kobo Plus with individual purchases: Check whether the titles you want are included before committing to a subscription.
• Compare device options: Look at eReader promotions and certified refurbished models alongside new devices. Include any accessories you need in the comparison.

If a code is rejected, recheck its terms and the items in your basket. Do not complete payment expecting the discount to be added afterwards.

Digital purchases are delivered to your Rakuten Kobo account rather than sent by post. eReaders and accessories use the separate hardware store, which ships to the Republic of Ireland. Standard delivery is free above a minimum spend, and express delivery is available for an additional charge.

Eligible eReaders and accessories can be returned within 45 days, with return postage paid by the customer. Digital purchases have separate cancellation and return terms, so do not apply the hardware returns policy to an eBook or audiobook.

The eReader shop accepts Visa, Mastercard and PayPal. For digital books and subscriptions, payment options include major credit and debit cards, PayPal and store credit, depending on your location and checkout.

Use the Ireland bookstore for eBooks, audiobooks and Kobo Plus, and the Ireland eReader shop for devices and accessories. Both serve Irish shoppers, but digital content and hardware have different delivery and returns arrangements.

If a location notice appears, choose the Ireland store before comparing prices or following an offer. This keeps your browsing on the local storefront with euro pricing.

Decide whether you need hardware before building your basket. The free reading apps let you read on a smartphone or tablet without buying an eReader. If you do want a dedicated device, compare the device and accessory total separately from your book budget. A discount on one part of your purchase does not establish that the other part is included.

For more reading options, browse our books and magazines offers. If you are comparing the cost of a dedicated reading device with other hardware, check our technology and electrical offers too.

For academic and professional ebooks, Perlego offers a subscription library. Brill also sells scholarly books and ebooks, as well as journals.

How do I use a discount code at Rakuten Kobo?

Sign in to your account and apply your code during checkout before completing your purchase. Check that the discount appears in the total and that your chosen title or device meets the offer’s conditions.

Why might my Rakuten Kobo discount code not work?

Check the offer’s expiry date, eligible products and country restrictions. Make sure the offer applies to the Ireland store and to the type of purchase you are making.

Can I read without buying an eReader?

Yes, Rakuten Kobo offers free reading apps and a web reader. Using an existing device lets you buy eBooks without paying for a separate eReader.

Does Rakuten Kobo deliver eReaders to Ireland?

Yes, the Ireland eReader shop delivers to the Republic of Ireland. Standard delivery is free above a minimum spend, while express delivery costs extra.

Can I return an eReader or a digital book?

Eligible eReaders and accessories can be returned within 45 days, with return postage paid by you. Digital purchases have separate cancellation and refund terms, so do not assume the device returns policy covers eBooks or audiobooks.
