The selection of supported books remains limited for now. The feature was first introduced in 2018, however, it was only made available on Google Home.

Previously, when asked over a smartphone for a story, Assistant would come out with a short inspirational quote or a joke. Google's decision comes just in time for the "Tell a Story" day that is celebrated on April 27.
