"It's announcing a partnership with Bookshop.org - which lets indie bookstores sell their wares online through a unified platform - allowing users to buy physical books from within its app, and launching a new Page Match feature that helps sync your progress across the physical books you read and the audiobooks in Spotify's catalog. Also, the audiobook recap feature that summarizes the plot so far is expanding to Android this spring, following its iOS debut (in beta form) last fall."
"Page Match is coming to all places where Spotify's audiobooks are available, starting with the English language titles in its 500,000-strong library. Meanwhile, you can access Bookshop within the Spotify app in the US and the UK, where Bookshop operates. Though I'm thrilled that this will mean easier and greater support of independent bookstores in those areas, I'm more excited by the prospect of Page Match, which I previewed at a recent launch event in the company's offices in New York."

The Bookshop integration and Page Match aim to support independent bookstores and simplify switching between book formats.
