As reported by TechCrunch, Spotify is now selling physical books on its Android app to users in the U.S. and the U.K., with plans to roll out the feature to iPhones next week. The company first announced the initiative back in February, revealing that it was partnering with Bookshop.org to facilitate the transactions. This isn't your typical corporate agreement, either: Bookshop.org is designed to connect buyers to their local independent bookstores, rather than some enormous conglomerate or distributor. Bookshop says that 50% of the book sale price goes directly to the publisher (who then pays the author), while 30% goes to the bookstore you choose upon purchase. Another 10% goes towards a profit-sharing fund that is distributed among all the bookstores the site works with.
Note that there isn't a dedicated storefront for buying books on Spotify. Instead, you'll see a “Get a copy for your bookshelf" button appear under individual audiobooks. When you choose this, you'll be taken to that book's Bookshop.org page.
Spotify's "Page Match" and "Audiobook Recaps" are getting updates too
There have also been updates to audiobook charts across the app, which show customers which books are currently the top sellers. Audiobook charts recently launched in Germany, and users in the U.S. and U.K. now have a dedicated chart for the most popular kids and family-oriented audiobooks, too.
