Spotify Audiobooks launched this week, announcing a whopping catalogue of over 300,000 audiobooks is now available on the platform.
Adding an entirely new content format to Spotify’s service was no small feat. But they have done it before with podcasts, and now the streaming legends have done the same with audiobooks.
Spotify users in Australia and the UK, Ireland, and New Zealand can now purchase and listen to a catalogue of more than 300,000 audiobook titles, with an ever-evolving user interface to help more people across the world connect with their next favourite music, podcasts, and audiobooks.
U.S. and Australian users can now easily find audiobooks on Spotify alongside music and podcasts as a section in their library, in search, and in their recommendations on Home. There is one catch: Books will be available for a one-time purchase, and users can preview the content for free before purchasing.
The audiobook library includes Australian titles such as “The Other Side of Beautiful,” “The Boy from Boomerang Crescent,” Jane Harpers,“The Dry,” Boy Swallows Universe,” and “Growing Up Queer in Australia”.
An entire library in the palm of your hand. Listen to your favorite audiobooks on Spotify 📚https://t.co/OlETwJI96n pic.twitter.com/4BmuuSwFwO
