The nice thing about the google home, is I don't have to send audio books to my device. Once I connected my google home to my iPhone via bluetooth, I just say hey google, connect and it responds looking for paired devices. It connects to my iPhone and lets me know that. I can just go to the audible or bard app and begin to listen to any audio book I want with no issues. When I'm done, I just say hey google, disconnect and it does it. Very easy.
