A couple of months after launching audiobooks on Google Play, Google is adding new features for folks that like to listen to their books.
Google says that it's got a handful of improvements for audiobooks, including some that integrate with Google Assistant and Google Home. They are:
- Smart Resume, which will intelligently rewind you to the beginning of a word or sentence after you pause your audiobook, helping you to remember what was happening before you paused.
- Bookmarks, which will let you save a spot in an audiobook to help you quickly jump back to a favorite quote or moment whenever you want.
- Support for Google Assistant Routines, which let your Google Assistant perform multiple actions with a single command from you.
- Improved speed controls that now let you listen at 3x faster than the normal speed or 0.5x slower than normal.
- Family Library sharing, which lets you share your audiobooks and ebooks with up to five family members for free, is now available in 13 additional countries: Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Chile, Mexico, Japan (audiobooks only), and South Africa.
These new features are rolling out today, and they're available on Android, iOS, and devices with Google Assistant.
