Describe the Feature/Enhancement
It would be helpful to have a continue listening button in Android Auto.
Currently I have to navigate through different menu items to select the correct audiobook to continue listening
Why would this be helpful?
Easier and faster to continue listening. More secure in the car if the selection is faster.
Future Implementation (Screenshot)
Could be similar on Android Auto as the app selection with a dedicated start page where we have a button for continue listening.
Audiobookshelf App Version
Android App - 0.10.0
Current Implementation (Screenshot)

I agree. super annoying/dangerous to have to drill down several levels while driving to get to something I was already listening to.

I'm also on 0.10.0 and the button is there, sometimes!
I will file an issue, that the feature isn't working properly.
This issue can be closed.

@advplyr Can we convert this issue to a bug issue? It seams from the comments that there is already a button in Android Auto to continue listening but not always is shown/work properly
