For the dad who has everything: Gift a Kobo e-reader this Father’s Day. Thoughtful eReaders, accessories and eBooks for dads who love to read, unwind, travel and learn on the go
FATHER’S DAY
Finding the perfect Father’s Day gift isn’t always easy—especially for the dad who seems to have everything. Every year, shoppers return to the usual choices: mugs, wallets, socks, watches or another gadget that may never leave its box. But sometimes, the most meaningful gift isn’t another possession—it’s the gift of time, knowledge and moments of quiet escape.
With Father’s Day falling on 21 June 2026, Rakuten Kobo is encouraging families to think beyond traditional presents by choosing a gift that inspires, entertains and lasts far beyond the occasion.
KOBO eREADER
Whether he’s a frequent traveller, a bedtime reader, a history enthusiast, a thriller fan, a lifelong learner or someone who simply enjoys winding down with a good book after a busy day, the Kobo eReader offers an experience tailored to every kind of dad.
Lightweight, portable and designed for distraction-free reading, Kobo eReaders give users instant access to millions of eBooks, making it easy to carry an entire library wherever life takes them. From business trips and holidays to quiet evenings at home, Kobo transforms every spare moment into an opportunity to discover new stories, ideas and perspectives.
OFFERS RANGE OF PREMIUM
To complete the experience, Kobo also offers a range of premium accessories and digital titles, allowing gift-givers to create a thoughtful reading package that matches their dad’s interests and lifestyle.
More than just a device, a Kobo eReader is a gift that keeps giving—encouraging relaxation, lifelong learning and meaningful personal time. It’s a practical investment that can be enjoyed every day, long after Father’s Day has passed.
This Father’s Day, skip the predictable gifts and choose something that truly makes a difference. Because for the dad who has everything, the greatest gift may simply be more time to read, learn and enjoy the stories he loves.
KOBO LIBRA COLOUR
For dads who love both fiction and non-fiction, the Kobo Libra Colour is a thoughtful pick that goes beyond a standard eReader. With a 7” colour E Ink display, page-turn buttons, glare-free reading, waterproof protection, Bluetooth connectivity, 32GB storage and compatibility with the Kobo Stylus 2, it is made for readers who like to highlight favourite lines, annotate passages, organise thoughts, or keep digital notes.
Perfect for the dad who says he has no time to read, then somehow spends 40 minutes explaining the last book that changed his mind.
