Streaming service Spotify has added hundreds of thousands of audiobooks to its offering from renowned publishers Hachette, Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster. For now, these audio titles are only available in the US.
Nir Zicherman, head of audiobooks at Spotify, says this first step is just the beginning.
Today’s release is just the beginning for Spotify. There are many more exciting things to come in audiobooks. But for now, I encourage you to listen to the next great read!
