Listen up Amazon: Google Play coming after Audible with own audio books offering
"OK Google, tell Audible we're coming after you." It may not be worthy of a page-turner. But Google is indeed launching an audiobooks service on Google Play that is set to challenge the Audible service owned by Amazon. It'll be an uphill battle for sure. Audible is the largest seller of narrated books and spoken content, with more than 400,000 titles overall. While Google starts rolling out audiobooks on Google Play starting today in nine languages and 45 countries, the company wouldn't tell me how many titles will be made available at launch.
