"We believe the future of reading or listening needs to be flexible and fit more seamlessly into people's lives,"
"Now we're extending Spotify's discovery and engagement strengths across both audio and physical formats, so authors can build deeper connections with their audiences and books can follow readers wherever they go."
"We are excited to see the impact Spotify's scale will have for local bookstores,"
Spotify is expanding its audiobook offerings with tools to improve cross-format discovery and physical ownership. Page Match enables readers to scan a page in a physical book or e-book and immediately resume the corresponding audiobook from that exact location. The feature uses a quick camera scan to identify the reader’s position and toggles playback accordingly. Page Match will be fully rolled out by the end of the month. The capability is available to Premium and Audiobook+ members, and free users who purchase audiobooks. Spotify will offer physical book purchases in the U.S. and U.K. via Bookshop.org, routing sales to independent bookstores and handling fulfillment.
