Spotify announced a major expansion of audiobook availability to over 180 markets, a significant increase from the current 22. This move follows a 40% year-over-year increase in monthly listeners and a 30% rise in hours spent on audiobooks. The platform also updated its 'Page Match' feature to allow users to resume reading from a specific page using the ISBN number. While the company claims to offer over 800 million audiobooks from 300 publishers, the specific number of countries reached by the new expansion remains unspecified.
