A suggestion for Audiobook: I'd really like to have a start/stop button on UI by pressing which the app automatically captures a note in text format and stores in the cloud under the same Audiobook. I hate to always take manual notes and in process miss out what narrator said during the time I was taking the notes.

Audible has this feature, works exactly as you describe it.
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.
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
