This is because after a certain number of listening minutes by user, Scribd has to pay the publisher for the entire audiobook, which is Findaway and then Findaway pays the publisher. Scribd for example, charges a monthly fee for unlimited audiobooks on the platform, but if you listen to too many of them, they throttle users accounts, so they don’t see the whole catalog anymore, and can only listen to certain things. They still have to keep the existing contracts and respect the digital distribution models. Spotify buying Findaway gives them a huge catalog of audiobook titles, both from indie authors and major publishers. Would Spotify develop a new audiobook only subscription tier or even charge for audiobooks? They don’t exactly have a system to charge people credits, so if they wanted to implement one, it would take time. ![]() Exactly how these semantics would play out is currently unknown. They own the distribution platform, but they would still have to pay royalties to the publisher and author. The highest tier Spotify subscription is $14.99, so if they gave their entire catalog away for paid members, they would dominate the industry. Top-tier audiobooks retail on their own anywhere between $15 to $50 each. Thousands of them will be played with ads, but what about paid subscribers? There is a huge gulf between indie authors who self-publish their own titles and ones issued by major publishers who have tremendous production values, highly skilled narrators and are bestsellers.

There’s substantial opportunity in the space, Spotify says, noting the audiobooks market is expected to grow from $3.3 billion to $15 billion by 2027. The deal officially closed on June 16th, 2022. They were one of the largest audiobook distributors that powered the catalog of Kobo, Google, Scribd, Barnes and Noble and dozens of others. Spotify getting involved in the audiobook space was a forgone conclusion, when they announced they were purchasing Findaway for an undisclosed sum. And here again, we will apply the same differentiating foundations of ubiquity, personalization, and Freemium to attract both creators and users, and drive engagement.” “A platform fueled by subscription, advertising and creator service models, applied to music, podcasts, audiobooks and more.” While it’s still early,” he said, “we expect audiobooks to also have healthy margins, above 40% and be highly accretive to the business. “We’ve moved from being a music discovery and playback service, to a fully-fledged platform where artists and creators can create, engage, and earn,” Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said during the company’s annual Investor Day on June 8. So when the company eventually incorporates a million audiobook titles from their purchase of Findaway, you will be able to listen to them, while having ads play during playback. ![]() Spotify has announced that they are going to be implementing a freemium model for audiobooks for people who are not a paid subscriber. ![]()
