Google Audiobooks
Photo: Google Blog |
Below is the summary of the blog post I read.
Google Play now offers audiobooks. The audiobooks will be offered in nine languages and available in 45 countries.
The audiobooks should be affordable. Android, iOS, and the web are the places you can listen to the audiobooks. Do you have a device that has the Google Assistant (like Google Home), the audiobooks will be available with the device as well.
Here are highlights from the announcing blog post:
- Listen without a subscription
- Enjoy your audiobook with your Google Assistant
- Weave reading into your day across multiple devices*
For complete details, read the blog post on the Google blog.
