Logically, "any" is su'o/ro/no:
mi na ponse [su'o] da  (same as mi ponse no da)
I don't have anything.

xu do ponse [su'o] da
Do you possess anything?

For the sentence in question ("Which book do you want?" --- "I'll take 
any"), you can also use su'o:
A: ma poi cukta cu jai se djica do
B: su'o boi cy / su'o lo cukta

The emphasis seems different, which is why I personally like to use {ma 
kau} for some of these cases.
mi djica lo nu klama ma kau
I want to go wherever

mu'o mi'e la selpa'i
