Audible has this feature, works exactly as you describe it.
No it doesn't, at least not on their Android version. You may just bookmark the location.
I'm running the Android app, version 2.21.0

#62In my view, audiobooks are a complete waste of time for retaining information unless you are highly engaged and not distracted.
The droves of multitaskers that "mind hack / life hack" themselves by listening to audiobooks at 2x+ speeds while "getting shit done" are deluding themselves and descending into stupidity.
Read, god dammit! Read! You have to read deeply and deliberately.
Seriously, audio books are a good supplement but not a replacement. You cannot be educated "on the go" with audio books. Anything worth learning will demand your full attention.
That's my opinion.

When did they add the sync feature? I asked the audible support about sync two months ago and they said that the notes are only stored on the device you are using. Indeed i couldn't see it anywhere else and when i switched phones the notes wouldn't sync to the new audible installation.
It must have been recently then, I've just looked at my notes in the web player that I had added in the Android app. If you still happen to have your old phone, you may be able to sync them now.
Ah, that is great news, thank you.
