TECH-A-BYTE @ Google launches audiobooks, integrates it with Assistant

You can now buy audiobooks on the Google Play Store. There are books ranging from Jhumpa Lahiri’s Unaccustomed Earth, to Astrophysics For People In A Hurry by Neil de Grasse Tyson, to Chetan Bhagat’s One Night At The Call Center and many others. Users can listen to them on their Android, iOS devices, or on the web, as well as on devices that have Google Assistant. There is an option for a free preview of the book to ensure that you like the storyline and enjoy listening to the narrator’s voice. For now, the Google Assistant integration with audiobooks is available on Android phones and smart speakers globally in English, the company said.
