Here’s a Spotify hack you may not know about: they’ve gone big on ebooks. If you have a premium subscription, you can listen to a vast library of ebooks for free.
To put into perspective just how good their coverage is, I’ve searched for maybe 5-6 ebooks over the past 2 months, and all but one were available to listen to via my Spotify premium subscription. That’s an impressive amount of value packed into my monthly fee.
Another reason why I think this is a good play is people don’t typically re-listen to audio books; so streaming is perfect. And if Spotify is including the content in their subscription, why should people keep paying Audible?
I suspect this is costing Spotify a tonne, and probably isn’t sustainable. But whilst there are ebooks aplenty, happy listening!
