In v0.9.44-beta if you are connected to the server you downloaded the item from then bookmarks will be available.
Bookmarks are not yet implemented when not connected to the server, that could be a while since it is a big effort.

Downloaded library items have to be linked to a server item for them to show bookmarks and you have to be connected to the same server they are linked.

They are linked and on the book details page it does say its connected. On the player at the top it says local and there is no option for bookmarks. The button for them is just missing.

Fixed the bug where bookmarks weren't showing for downloaded media when currently connected to server in v0.9.60-beta

We can leave this open for supporting completely offline bookmarks.

I'm still having this issue in v0.9.61-beta on iOS

To replicate the issue:

  1. Play the book while connected to the server and the bookmark button is visible
    image

  2. Fully close/kill the app

  3. Re-open the app and allow it to connect to the server
    image

  4. The book that was previously playing will show in the bar at the bottom with the progress and play button. Tap that bar to view the now playing window, and the bookmarks button will not be visible.

To make the button appear again, you can either:

  1. Start playing a different book, then return to the current book.
  2. Tap the 3 dots at the top right corner of the now playing screen, tap close player, then tap the play button on the book again to re-open it.

Oh I see, this is specific to iOS and opening the playback session before the server connection.
