Spotify Audiobooks included with Premium Accounts

Hi all,
I keep reading in different places online ( eg newsroom.spotify.com/202…um/) that Spotify Premium is meant to give 15 hours of free audiobooks /month.

"Today we’re starting an entirely new chapter for our audiobooks offering by making more than 150,000 audiobooks available as part of Spotify Premium subscriptions. To start, we’re offering each Premium individual, as well as plan managers for Family and Duo accounts, 15 hours of listening per month—giving them the ability to enjoy as many titles as they want within that monthly allocation.

But browsing through the selection I've yet to find any that are "included in Premium".
Has anyone found any of the books included, or have I missed something obvious??

Thanks!

    Found out the cure for this (online). Turns out that I couldn't access the free Audiobook allowance, because I bought a Spotify Yearly card. Their back end system apparently doesn't see me as a Premium customer as I don't have an associated card or Paypal renewal against my account.

    So the solution (for me) was easy - I set up the account to renew next cycle by associating Paypal.

    I'll have to be careful to cancel the payment before it renews (as I normally buy a Spotify Gift Card)

    If you click on the 'audiobook' tab on the app, every book shown is included.

    Just search for a book you want, and it will say whether or not it's part of the service.

    Luckily, most of the ones I want to listen to, are

    Interesting.

    When I tap on the Audio books button I don't get "included in Premium" for any of mine either in the Windows App or Android app... (edited)
