Historically, the audiobook is a type of media that requires recording the reading of a text aloud that can be reproduced in order for it to be mediated. However, what happens when this “reading” is done by Artificial Intelligence in real-time, instantaneously, such as by means of a virtual assistant like Alexa? Can this mediation be seen as an audiobook? With the view that this question is an issue that emerges with the new relations among digital media, the aim of this article is to define what kind of phenomenon this is. Hence, we use Intermediality Studies based on the models proposed by Lars Elleström (2021) and other authors who help us fill in and develop specific gaps in the theory, to find the needed support for this analysis. To expand our discussion, the example used was the e-book and audiobook of The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho, to compare the reading done by a human being and the “reading” done by Artificial Intelligence. Based on our analysis, the conclusion is that the “reading” carried out by Alexa is in fact an "oralization" (BAJARD, 2014), corresponding to a process of audio decoding of words. Thus, compared to an audiobook read by a human, the result of a transmediation, Alexa’s decoding is a “re-mediation”. In other words, it is a re-exhibition of the material, spatial-temporal, sensorial, and potentially semiotic modalities of an e-book by means of a different technical media of display
