Here's how to use Spotify audiobooks plus the best-recommended audiobooks you should not miss to listen to.
When Spotify announced its desire to venture into audiobook selling last year, many people knew that it would dive right away for this track. The platform never ceases to address the listening needs of the fans: from music to podcasts.
According to Mashable, the Swedish streaming giant exclusively launched Spotify Audiobooks to the US market last week. At this point, we do not know when or when the company will roll out this feature to the other markets.
Although it's only available for US-based listeners, the promising feature is expected to attract more bibliophiles to the platform once its global release kicks off.
