Don't see a similar ebook subscription card.


They haven't announced Kobo Plus for any country other than Belgium or the Netherlands. I found an article once that explained in detail why, but in short, it had to do with rampant piracy and the desperation of the big publishers—very similar to how Steve Jobs got the record labels to play ball when iTunes first launched. Kobo can only expand Plus if publishers support it—or if they want to bank on Indy like Amazon did with Kindle Unlimited.
