Connect Kobbie to organise your Kobo.
Plug in your Kobo and Kobbie reads it straight from your browser. It shows the unfinished series, the sequels you don't own yet and the new releases worth watching, then fixes the messy titles, authors and covers.
Works straight from your browser
Kobo sees files.
Kobbie understands your books.
Your Kobo shows whatever the file says. Kobbie works out what the book actually is, where it sits in the series and what you are missing.
Kobbie spots the missing sequel and points you at the exact book you don't own yet.
Kobbie separates the title, author and series instead of treating them as one filename.
Kobbie works out the actual book and where it belongs in the series.
Kobbie uses what you actually finished to suggest real books by other authors, not just more of the same series.
Direct Kobo writeback for covers and eligible sideloaded metadata remains a controlled preview until physical device acceptance is complete.
Four ways Kobbie helps.
A library that makes sense.
Clean titles, authors and series order so the books on your Kobo are easy to browse and understand.
Cover Studio
Replace missing or wrong covers, choose a better edition or upload your own. Then apply it from your browser.
The sequels you're missing.
See every series gap, the next book you already own and the one you need to finish the story.
New release alerts
Follow the series you care about and get a heads-up when the next book is announced or released.
Kobbie does all the lifting.
- Plug your Kobo into your computer with its USB cable
- Give Kobbie permission to read the Kobo folder in your browser
- Kobbie reads your library list and shows what you miss and where to find it

Bad covers, fixed on your Kobo.
Sideloaded books often show a blank or wrong cover. Cover Studio finds the right one, lets you pick from official sources, or upload your own image. You see the change first, then write it to your Kobo from the browser. Every replaced cover is backed up so you can undo it.
- You pick which books to fix.
- Written from your browser, no app needed.
- Originals are backed up so you can undo.
Nothing changes without your approval.
- Your e-book files stay on your computer.
- Every change is shown to you first.
- Anything written to a Kobo is backed up and undoable.
- Backups of anything changed are kept for 48 hours.

Built with the book-data ecosystem
$3 from every annual Kobbie Plus subscription is reserved for the community data sources Kobbie relies on. Instead of splitting it arbitrarily, we use Kobbie's own provenance data to divide the pool by each source's measured contribution to the book knowledge behind Kobbie.
How it worksQuestions
Does Kobbie work in the browser alone?+
Yes. Plug your Kobo into your computer and Kobbie reads it directly from your desktop browser. Nothing to install, and nothing is changed on your Kobo without your approval.
What does Kobbie read from my Kobo?+
Only the library metadata: which books are on the device, titles, authors, series information and how far you've read each one. Kobbie never reads or uploads the e-book files themselves.
Do my e-book files leave my computer?+
No. Your e-book files stay on your computer. Kobbie reads only the metadata it needs to analyse your library.
What is included in the free scan?+
Unlimited scans, a personal library summary (books, series and potential issues detected), reading stats, saved shelves, discovery and release alerts. Enough to get you going for a long time!
What do I get with Kobbie Plus?+
Plus adds the cloud work that keeps costing Kobbie to run: Kobbie assisted organisation, metadata and cover enrichment, personalised discovery and ongoing analysis. It is billed yearly and can be cancelled before renewal. Features are only advertised as included after they ship.
What decides whether something is free or Plus?+
One rule: if a feature costs Kobbie nothing to run for each reader, it stays free. That covers scanning, your saved library, manual corrections, reading stats, Cover Studio in the browser, wishlist, discovery and unlimited release alerts. Plus pays for the parts that keep costing money for every reader: recognition of hard-to-match books, organising again as your library grows, and future device writeback.
Why is Kobbie Plus a yearly plan instead of a one-time payment?+
Kobbie Plus uses ongoing cloud services and external data providers, so an annual plan keeps the product sustainable without pretending one payment can fund those costs forever. Scanning and your saved library stay free.
Does Kobbie change anything on my Kobo automatically?+
No. A scan is strictly read-only. Cover choices and Organise decisions are saved in Kobbie Web; direct Kobo writeback is still a controlled preview while device safety is being physically verified. Official Kobo books remain protected until their adapter is accepted.
Does Kobbie work with sideloaded books?+
Yes. Sideloaded books are exactly where messy metadata usually lives, and understanding them is a core Kobbie job. Kobbie treats sideloaded and store-purchased books the same way.
Can Kobbie fix messy author names, titles and series?+
Kobbie can already recognise and organise messy titles, authors and series in Kobbie Web. Eligible sideloaded-book writeback is available in a controlled preview with preview, explicit approval, backup and undo; official Kobo books remain protected until their adapter is accepted.
Can Kobbie repair covers?+
Yes. Open Cover Studio, pick the books you want fixed and save the cover choices in Kobbie Web. Direct browser-to-Kobo writeback is available only in the controlled preview until device acceptance is complete.
