A tipster discovered code for a new Spotify feature called Page Match. This tool would let users scan a physical book's page to sync its progress with the corresponding audiobook on Spotify. The feature aims to bridge the gap between physical reading and audio listening, allowing users to seamlessly switch between formats.

The code suggests a two-way sync. Users could scan a physical page to jump their audiobook to that exact point, or use the app to find the correct page in their physical copy. This positions Spotify to compete directly with Amazon's Whispersync, a key feature for Kindle and Audible users who value format flexibility.

There's no official release date, and the feature will likely be a Premium offering, limited to markets where Spotify currently sells audiobooks. The move follows Spotify's recent price hikes and its push into the audiobook market, where it offers 15 free hours monthly to subscribers before charging extra. It signals Spotify's deeper investment in becoming a comprehensive media hub.
