Why can't both users in a duo account access audiobooks?

[#1]

I am wondering why only the plan manager is able to listen to audiobooks in the Premium Duo membership. How can my partner access audiobooks as a plan member? If this is not available, I would like to know the reason why.

Hey there,

Thanks for coming to the Community.

Right now, Audiobooks in Premium is available only on select plans and is limited to plan managers.

This means if you joined a Duo or Family plan as a member you won’t have access to the free listening time, but this is something that will be explored in the future to allow Family and Duo users to have more flexibility from their audiobooks access 🙂

For more info, you can also visit the following Newsroom article: https://newsroom.spotify.com/2023-10-03/audiobooks-included-in-spotify-premium/. There's, unfortunately, no additional info available besides this.

Hope this clears things up!
