Audiobook purchases are now available for Spotify users in the US.
What is known
Spotify launches audiobooks in
Right now, a US user has access to more than30,000 different books at prices set by the authors themselves (similar to Apple Books). Listeners can listen to the book or its excerpt in the application, and if they wish to purchase, they will be shipped outside the application. This is different from popular audiobook services like Audible, where you pay a certain amount per month and get access to the entire library.
When to expect
The feature is currently only available in the US. There is no release for other regions yet, but given how long podcasts have reached us, it is unlikely that audiobooks are worth waiting for in the near future.
