What kind of books do you have in mind?

Books still under copyright can only be requested from Audible/Kindle.

Public domain books can be requested from some websites, but it requires a bit of tedious work searching through lots of podcasts for something she may like and then writing down the EXACT words she needs to say in order to get Alexa to play them. Even then, it's hit or miss. I doubt your mother would want to do this.

Google Home devices can play audiobooks from the Google Play Store via voice commands, but that's another walled garden.
