Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Currently when utilizing ABS with Android Auto, the seek bar shows the overall book progress and the only skip controls are forward and back a few seconds.

As someone who comes from utilizing Bookcamp with Android Auto, the ability to display the chapter progress instead of book progress and adding previous and next chapter buttons (in addition to the existing forward/back 10 second skips) would be usual.

Why would this be helpful?

Occasionally I find myself wanting to go back one chapter/start a chapter over and there's really no easy way to do this with the current Android Auto UI.

If using multiple mp3 audiobooks the next/prev will show. I haven't worked out how to control that for a single file yet
