Spotify's new 30-hour audiobook plans are too short to finish long books
Briefly

Spotify has launched two new Audiobooks Plus add-on subscriptions for Premium users, increasing their audiobook listening limit to 30 hours. These subscriptions cater to individual Premium subscribers and those managing Family and Duo plans. Additionally, other Premium account users can request 15 hours of access from their plan manager. However, the 30-hour limit is insufficient for many popular long audiobooks. Premium subscribers also cannot purchase audiobooks from Spotify, which contrasts with offerings from competitors like Audible, further complicating direct support for authors by listeners.
Spotify has introduced two Audiobooks Plus add-on subscriptions for Premium users, increasing audiobook listening limits to 30 hours, but those limits may be insufficient for longer titles like 'A Game of Thrones.'
The 30-hour cap of Spotify's new audiobooks plans allows only for multiple smaller novels, but re-listening could consume those hours, frustrating users seeking to enjoy longer works.
