If you can get your hands on an old Kindle Keyboard, you can set up the text-to-speech so that it will turn the pages at a set rate. If you mum isn't interested in listening to the computerized voice, just turn the volume way down.

Alternatively, if you have an iOS device (and probably Android too, but I don't know how they work), you can set up the Accessibility controls so that Siri will read the book out loud. Again, you can control the speed and turn down the volume. This article also might be of interest: http://www.dvice.com/2013-6-27/hidde...ipad-your-head

Sending much love to you and your mum!
