Also I can't beleive Spotify will dent Amazon's dominance of Audio Books via Audible. It will be niche, less so than music. I was surprised when my sister told me she used spotify. However she then explained it was only convenience. She listens to content she bought years ago and had on LP then CD. No new content. Less bother than converting her CDs to mp3s. So I wonder how much Spotify music revenue is content already bought in the past?

Some people though hardly read books now, finding the audio books more convenient for their lifestyle, but how many of those will Spotify poach from Amazon's Audible?
