Today we’re starting an entirely new chapter for our audiobooks offering by making more than 150,000 audiobooks available as part of Spotify Premium subscriptions.
For anyone interested in this news, don’t forget to check out your local library. If you’re in the US there’s a good chance that your library card will also give you access to online audiobooks for free!
My library also supports Hoopla, which is a limited number of borrows per month, with instant availability. The catalogue is probably lesser, but it’s different so adds options.
If your library has hoopla you can get ebooks, music, tv shows, movies, comics, and magazines too. Unfortunately doesn’t work with ereaders for the ebooks.
Both do support Android, though. There are Android ereaders available, and while they’re mostly Chinese companies I don’t personally trust much, low powered for tablets, and old Android with minimal support in terms of upgrades, I personally think the trade off is worth it compared to how limited your choices on proprietary readers are. I wouldn’t put confidential documents on them, but I also probably wouldn’t trust Amazon with that either.
