For the dad who has everything: Gift a Kobo e-reader this Father’s Day

 

Father’s Day shopping has a way of circling back to the same familiar suspects: mugs, wallets, socks, watches, or yet another gadget he may or may not use. But for the dad who already has everything, sometimes the most thoughtful gift is more time for the stories, ideas and quiet moments he rarely gets to enjoy.

 

With Father’s Day taking place on 21 June 2026, Rakuten Kobo is helping gift-givers look beyond the usual presents with a guide made for every kind of reading dad. Whether he is a frequent traveller, a bedtime reader, a history buff, a thriller lover, a lifelong learner, or someone simply trying to carve out a few distraction-free moments at the end of the day, Kobo’s range of eReaders, accessories and eBooks offers a personal, practical and long-lasting way to say thank you.

 

For the dad who reads, reflects and marks up every meaningful line: Kobo Libra Colour
