If you have an Apple or an Android device, simply download the Kobo app from your app store.
If you have a Kindle and want to try the Kobo app, follow the instructions below. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work on Paperwhites.
- Kindle Settings
- Search for “Install unknown apps”
- Select Silk Browser and allow it to download unknown apps.
- Open Silk Browser
- Search for the following depending on if you’re in the US or UK (if you’re in another country, replace the country code in one of these links)
kobo.com/us/en/p/apps
kobo.com/uk/en/p/apps
Once installed, the Kobo icon will be added to your apps. Sign in with your Kobo account (or make one).

I tried this on 8.14.26 and it appears it may have been disabled (reads as “Currently Unavailable” on Amazon App store).
Gah, that’s a pain. I guess Amazon didn’t like the competition!
