Spotify Now Has Audiobooks So You Can Really Engineer A Vibe Shift At The Next House Party

Get ready to treat the fuck out of your ears ‘cos Spotify has officially launched its audiobook offering Australia. I am entering my literary era as we speak. Spotify launched audiobooks in the US a couple of months ago, but as of November 22 they’re now available in Australia, the UK, Ireland and New Zealand. There’s a whopping 300,000 books available to download for one-time purchase. But alas, the books do cost money even if you have a Spotify Premium account. You also can’t purchase the audiobook on your Spotify app — it has to be done on the web browser first. You’ll be able to preview the content for free before you buy a book though. It’s basically the audio equivalent of having a cheeky read in the bookshop before committing to your next novel. Spotify’s audiobook offering has a couple of cool features, including an automatic bookmark and the ability to download your book so you can listen offline. The app includes speed control so you can whack up or turn down the reading pace. Excuse me while I force all my friends to listen to Pride and Prejudice

“We’ve always believed that the potential for audio is limitless, and we’ve been saying for a while now that our ambition is to be the complete package for everyone’s listening needs,” Spotify VP and head of audiobooks Nir Zicherman said when audiobooks launched in the US.

“Audiobooks are next to come into the picture because we see a substantial untapped market.”
