Rakuten Kobo has revealed plans for a software update that will allow its e‑readers to store multiple library cards from Libby‑enabled libraries. The update will enable users to switch between cards without having to delete or reinstall the app.

According to the company, the change will be rolled out in a future firmware release, though a specific launch date has not yet been announced. The move is intended to improve the experience for users who borrow books from more than one library.
