We're talking people who have trouble reading their wristwatch. Using a touchscreen? Might as well ask them to pilot a fighter jet while you're at it. Dementia is a very sad thing.
Dementia + hearing loss + concentration needed for an audiobook = not a pretty sight either. Music is better, especially old songs that they know. Old TV shows that they used to watch, now on rerun, are good too. For a while. But pretty soon, even that gets to be too much for them to process.

I Know that BUT No one knows how each person reacts & NAs that are around you mom will be able to tell when has had enough & switch or turn it off. BTW She wont be the one working it!
