can someone tell Spotify's head of audiobooks (no background in books, has worked in product there for 15 years) that a book being carried around in a bag is not actually being read? reading starts once you sit down, open the book & direct your attention to the page w/o distractions. hope this helps

screenshot from spotify newsletter: "Books have always moved with us, whether tucked in our bags or humming in our headphones. With audiobooks, Spotify is building new ways to bring our favorite stories along for the ride."
