Free audiobook listening time for all Premium members

While I'm grateful for the move to bring audiobooks to Spotify, the exclusive benefit of free audiobooks for the "plan manager" in duo and family memberships seems unjust. It diminishes the premium experience for other members who pay the same amount as their friends and family but don't enjoy the full premium benefits. 

 

I acknowledge the cost-effectiveness of duo and family memberships, but the solution to a fairer listening experience could be to distribute the 15 hours among all members in your party. This way, duo members, for instance, would get 7.5 hours free—a reasonable compromise for the reduced cost.

 

It ensures fairness to all users and gives users the option to customise their audiobook time based on their plan size and budget.

I don't use the audio book hours that are included in my premium abo.

 

My husband in our duo subscription would like to. But it's not possible without paying extra. This is really too bad. Please make them shareable.

Allow Managers of Premium subscriptions to allocate the free hours of Audiobook to members.

Hello.

I was thinking about this and I believe that everyone on the Duo should get 15 hour each or let's say the person who's not the plan manager doesn't read books, but the person who is not the plan manager does.There should be a button that we can toggle it to the person who wants to read like i'm the plan manager and I like to read books.My husband is on the duo plan with me, but he does not read books at all.So it's fine for us the way it is now but I have friends that are having the same issue. Where the plan manager doesn't like to read, but the secondary person does so like I said, there should be a button that allows us to switch the time the 15 hours to a second person. And if it's a family plan, then the only thing I could think of is to split it between them. But 15 hours split between, let's say three people or Four people is not enough time for a everyone. You could also say 8 hours a month for each person or 5 hours a month is a bit to low because then people will just go buy the book. So you should have an option when people are buying family plans that a little bit more money for everybody to get between  5 to 15 hours. And let the people decide how much more money they wanna spend for audiobooks, for the extra people on the plans..
