Spotify to let users buy physical books on app through Bookshop.org ...
- On Feb. 5, Spotify launched Page Match and announced a Bookshop.org tie-up to sell physical and e-books later this spring in the U.S. and U.K.
- Amid audiobook growth, Spotify is expanding into retail to support indies and diversify its offerings, aiming to boost reading across physical, digital, and audio formats with Bookshop.org.
- Page Match uses camera-based computer vision and sentence matching, not AI, and Spotify says it does not retain captured images; it covers most English-language titles by late February.
- Bookshop.org will handle pricing, inventory and fulfillment while routing sales through Spotify, which will take a 15% affiliate fee on completed sales benefiting local independent bookstores.
- The expansion follows rapid catalog growth to 500,000 titles since launch, and Spotify reports rising listener engagement ahead of fourth-quarter earnings Feb. 10.
