You can pre-order eBooks and audiobooks from the Kobo website before they become available.

If you change your mind about buying the book, it’s quick and easy to cancel your pre-order.

You'll know a book is available to pre-order if you see a Pre-order button instead of the usual Buy Now button.

Here are a few things you should know about pre-ordering a book:

• Gift cards cannot be applied to pre-orders.
• You’re billed for the book on the day it’s released, not the day you pre-order.
• Your pre-order is covered by Kobo's Pre-order Price Guarantee.
• You can cancel your pre-order at any time, right up until the date the book is released.
  
  

Payment methods:

• Most major credit cards. 
  Note: iDeal and PayPal are not accepted.

After you pre-order a book:

• You’ll receive a confirmation email about your pre-order, which is sent to the email address you use for your Kobo account.
• You’ll receive a confirmation that you’ve been billed when the book is released – and then you’ll find it in your Library.

To pre-order a book:

1. Go to Kobo.com.
2. Sign in to your Kobo account.
3. Find the pre-order book that you'd like to purchase.
4. Click Pre-order below the book. The purchase details page will appear.
5. If required, enter your payment details.
6. Click Pre-order.

You'll be taken to the Thank You page, and your pre-order is added to your account Purchase History.
