Full review
Izneo is published by ONO, a societe par actions simplifiee registered at RCS Paris B 522 564 392, with share capital of EUR 660,000 and its seat at 57 rue Gaston Tessier, 75019 Paris, according to the legal notice.
Izneo sells comics, manga and graphic novels, and its subscription lets readers open a selection of albums without paying per title.
What is included in the izneo Pass?
The izneo Pass gives unlimited and ad-free reading of a selection of comics, graphic novels and manga, according to the subscription page. The page says the selection contains several thousand albums.
Readers use the website or the Android and iOS apps.
How much does Izneo cost and can you cancel?
Izneo lists the izneo Pass at EUR 9.99 per month with no commitment and a free test for 10 days. The page says the offer can be stopped at any time.
Single albums can still be bought in the shop, outside the subscription.
Where does Izneo host its data?
The Izneo legal notice states that the site and database are hosted on servers of Amazon Web Services. The notice names AWS as host but the pages we read do not state the region.
This matters to readers leaving Amazon, since the host is an Amazon company.
Points against
Izneo covers comics, manga and graphic novels, not novels, so it replaces only part of Kindle Unlimited. The legal notice names Amazon Web Services as host. The site shown is French-language, and the English catalogue is a separate section.
Is Izneo right for you?
Choose Izneo if comics and manga are most of your reading. For novels combine it with Nextory or BookBeat.
