As announced on February 4, 2026, Spotify plans to link to Bookshop.org for their audio book listeners who wish to purchase the physical book.
The Spotify link to Bookshop.org will be just like our other affiliate partners, such as The Atlantic, NY Times, NPR, and over 9000 other individuals and organizations. People following a link to Bookshop.org can choose a bookstore to benefit from their purchase, or just buy the book and have the profit shared among all our stores via our profit pool.
We remain committed to our mission of supporting local, independent bookstores by giving over 80% of our profit margin back to indies and we feel it will be better for indies if Spotify sells through Bookshop.org rather than selling books directly to their listeners, or through another retail partner like Amazon, shutting out the indies. We generally allow any organization or platform that wants to support indie bookstores to link to us. On Bookshop.org, our sole audiobook partner is Libro.fm, and all the audiobook links on our site go to Libro.
