The update arrives with confidence.

Spotify is now selling physical books through its Android app, because who needs a dedicated bookstore app? The feature is currently available in the US and UK, with iOS users getting access next week. Because what’s a music streaming service without some books on the side? It’s just another example of a tech company trying to be everything to everyone. Spotify is now a bookstore, just like Amazon is a grocery store.
