![]() In reply to will:Amazon does have some working out to do, though – their recent acquisition of Wondery was said to be an Amazon Music play. For now, the audiobooks are free to all Spotify users, not just paying subscribers. The move comes in the wake of Spotify’s expansion into podcasts and, it should be noted, Audible’s own move into podcasting. And the service has also launched a new podcast called Sitting with the Classics on Spotify, in which Harvard professor Glenda Carpio discusses each of the titles separately. But each recording is new and exclusive to Spotify. In case it’s not obvious, all of those books are in the public domain, which suggests that this is only a test to see how Spotify’s subscribers will react to the new feature.
