Spotify continues its quest to be sex woman videos xxxa one-stop shop for all your listening needs with the introduction of Spotify Audiobooks.
Spotify getting in on the audiobook market has been anticipated since the company acquired audiobook platform Findaway in 2021, and finally, here we are: On Sept. 20, Spotify launches Spotify Audiobooks for all U.S. users. That means you'll be able to listen to your favorite music, podcasts, and books all in one place, regardless of whether or not you pay for a Spotify Premium subscription. However, unlike music and podcasts on Spotify, the audiobooks aren't free.
Spotify is exploring other business models, but for the time being, audiobooks are available for individual purchase. To purchase an audiobook through Spotify, you will be taken to the web from the app to complete your purchase — like how you pay for Spotify Premium — and then brought back to the app. Each audiobook is individually priced consistent with industry standards. There is no discount for Spotify Premium users.
