Does Kobo store have new release notifications?

After receiving the notice from Sony that Sony accounts will be moved to Kobo, I started looking at the Kobo store in order to get familiar with it before the transfer occurs.

I can't figure out if the Kobo store has the ability to notify me of new books by a particular author, and if so, where is this feature found?

I also can't see where it might be.

Maybe you'll need to contact them - and I can't see where to do that either anymore

Yeah, the help section of their site isn't the greatest....

I don't think Kobo has notifications of new books by an author. But you can use a site like luzme.com to do this.

Thanks, GeoffR. I recall there was a recent thread on the general board about ways to track new releases. I've always just done this via the Sony store and was hoping Kobo would offer it also, but if they don't I'll look into other options such as Luzme.
