What it is
A Kobo eGift Card is store credit for the Kobo bookstore, sent straight to the recipient's email. You choose the amount, pick a card theme, add a message and set the date it should arrive. They redeem it in their Kobo account and use it on eBooks and audiobooks, reading on a Kobo eReader or in the Kobo app.
Who it's for
Readers and audiobook listeners, especially anyone who already owns a Kobo eReader or would rather not buy their books through Amazon.
Why it's a great gift
Book lovers are hard to buy for because they've already read the obvious picks. A Kobo eGift Card lets them choose their own next stories, and you can send it in minutes, even on Christmas Eve.
Gift tip: want to make it a bigger present? Pair it with the MasterClass Annual Gift Membership from MasterClass, and add it to your gift list so you remember who it's for and whether it's ordered or already wrapped.
