![]() Users can access their audiobooks via Google Assistant, the company’s digital assistant technology. Regular prices for many of the same books range from around $15 to more than $30. Several audiobook titles-including some bestsellers-are currently listed on Google’s Audiobooks site at promotional prices starting at under $10. As with other Google Play purchases, users can share audiobooks with up to 5 family members for no additional fee via the Family Library feature in Play. People can buy a single audiobook at a time and without any commitment to buy more, said Greg Hartrell, head of product management at Google Play Books in a blog Jan. Unlike Amazon’s Audible, with which it appears designed to compete, Google doesn’t require a membership to buy audiobooks. Google’s Audiobooks are available for Web users and as well as for users of Android and iOS-based smartphones and tablets. Starting this week, users in 45 countries will be able to buy audiobooks in nine languages from Google’s Play mobile app store. Google has broadened its efforts to sell audiobooks online with the launch of Audiobooks on Google Play Jan.
