All of the Kobo mobile apps and e-readers have a wishlist system, where users can add ebooks to a dedicated list. Sometimes they do it to organize future purchases and others express a desire to read them, but without immediate intent to purchase. The main Kobo retail website for MAC and PC have been without a wishlist system since the store first launched in 2009, but that has all changed today.
The Kobo Wishlist system works for all audiobook titles in any region that has a Kobo bookstore. eBooks that are available now or for pre-order can also be added to your wishlist. Adding something to your wishlist is super easy, there is a new option below “add to cart.” Accessing your wishlist is via a little heart on the top right hand corner, beside the cart button.
People have been asking for a wishlist system for the desktop store for years and Kobo has finally delivered.
