Kobo, the eBook reading software and e-tailer, has upgraded its software integrating Instapaper, an app that allows readers to easily save web articles, into the Kobo software for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Kobo is also upgrading its Reading Life app for iPad, an app that adds a gaming element to reading by allowing readers to easily track their reading habits and statistics and earn awards by simply reading.
The new upgrade will allow Instapaper users to also earn awards and monitor their reading achievements. The Reading Life app is also adding a limited edition of Holiday badges offering exclusive discount offers. Reading life is available for the iPad and support for the iPhone and iPod Touch will be released in the coming months. Kobo users will also have the ability to “like” a book and share titles of books with friends through Facebook as well as circulate favorite passages from books and personal notes also via Facebook.
