When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers.

I would love a foldable to have if I started having to go back into the office, it would be nice to take notes on in meetings. But they are just too big for me at the moment.
