3) Spotify is releasing a Page Match feature which will let readers move seamlessly from print book reading to ebook reading to audiobook listening and back again. It's a one of a kind feature and is kinda revolutionary in how readers interact with books. https://newsroom.spotify.com/2026-02-05/page-match-how-to/

Do you use Spotify for audiobooks currently?

It'll be so interesting to see how this shakes things up in terms of discoverability. Spotify is making it so you don't ever have to leave their platform. Curious to hear what you think!
