PodToo Announces Partnership with Kobo Books to Supply Audiobooks and Introduces SecureRSS Technology

PodToo, the leader in audio distribution innovation, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Kobo Books, a globally recognised platform for digital reading. This partnership enables PodToo’s audiobook publishers to offer their audiobooks directly to Kobo Books, providing creators with new opportunities to reach audiences worldwide.

PodToo ensures that publishers and authors who distribute via PodToo’s audiobook platform will have access to publish on Kobo Books, making their work accessible to Kobo’s extensive and loyal user base. This collaboration underscores PodToo’s commitment to supporting creators by expanding their reach and providing new revenue opportunities.

“Audiobooks have long been a cherished way for people to experience books, and at PodToo, we are committed to supporting the creator community by delivering innovative products and services,” said Russell Harrower, CEO of PodToo. “This launch represents a milestone in how we bridge technology, creativity, and accessibility for our users and partners.”

Introducing SecureRSS: A Revolutionary Step for Audiobook Distribution

In addition to its partnership with Kobo Books, PodToo has developed SecureRSS, a groundbreaking technology that allows audiobooks to be sold directly through Podcast 2.0 players. For the first time, listeners can purchase and access audiobooks using traditional payments (FIAT) or Bitcoin (Sats) within supported players. Platforms such as Truefans.fm have already embraced SecureRSS, making it easier for listeners to support their favourite creators while enjoying high-quality audiobook content.



“TrueFans is excited to partner with PodToo and offer our users the ability to buy audiobooks using either Fiat Currencies or Bitcoin SATs. SecureRSS is a new way to deliver content securely via RSS while protecting the content owners. This opens the door to other forms of protected content such as music, courses and films.” - Sam Sethi Founder and CEO TrueFans.fm

SecureRSS represents a significant advancement for the audiobook ecosystem, empowering creators to monetise their content and offering listeners a seamless and secure purchasing experience.

Supporting Creators and Expanding Opportunities

PodToo’s dual approach—enabling audiobook publishers to distribute to Kobo Books and advancing technology with SecureRSS—reinforces its dedication to empowering creators and publishers. By forming strategic partnerships and pioneering new technologies, PodToo is transforming audiobook distribution and enhancing access for audiences worldwide.

Looking Ahead

With these innovations, PodToo continues to cement its position as a leader in media distribution, offering creators unparalleled opportunities to connect with audiences across multiple platforms. The integration with Kobo Books and the launch of SecureRSS will coincide with PodToo’s groundbreaking media distribution service debut in January 2025, ushering in an exciting new era for creators and audiences alike.
