Are the books epub type files? If so, you can install fbreader from epel.
While fbreader isn't available for Centos 8 (that I'm aware of, anyway) the appimage works fine.

However, to make it work you need to use a LD_PRELOAD directive, as follows:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libfreetype.so FBReader-0.99.4.glibc2.14-x86_64.AppImage
Centos 8 includes the foliate ebook reader, which works but isn't as good as fbreader in my opinion. So I just use fbreader through the appimage instead.
