Spotify users in the U.S. will now be able to purchase and listen to more than 300,000 different audiobook titles, the company announced Tuesday. The streaming company's foray into audiobooks marks its latest attempt to make the platform a one-stop-shop for all things audio. The company decided to introduce audiobooks because they represent a "substantial untapped market," Nir Zicherman, Spotify's vice president and global head of audiobooks and gated content, said in Tuesday's release. Spotify users interested in listening to audiobooks can find them in their search, library and their curated recommendations on their homepage. Spotify plans to introduce audiobooks to new markets and add new features after the initial U.S. launch.
