YouTube could be preparing to enter the audiobook subscription market, raising questions about what that means for Audible, Spotify, and independent authors. Meanwhile, KDP has responded to concerns about permafree books, IngramSpark has expanded Share & Sell into Australia, and Ream has published its first major report on how readers discover and engage with fiction. We're also covering new audiobook opportunities through Kobo Plus, Spotify, and Voices by INaudio, along with important holiday publishing deadlines.
