Kobo app for iOS goes international with support for Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish

Kobo's Android app recently enjoyed a brief stint of global superiority, but that playing field has been leveled with the company's latest update for iOS. Like the Android version, Kobo for iOS now includes support for Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Additionally, users will also find support for ebooks encumbered with Adobe DRM. Lastly, Kobo for iOS now lets users choose which books to store locally on their device, and it also fixes a bug that'd prevented ebooks from being opened -- nice to get that one squared away.Filed under: SoftwareKobo app for iOS goes international with support for Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 16 Aug 2012 03:21:00 EDT.
