Describe the Feature/Enhancement

When both an ebook and audiobook file exist for the same book, there should be an option to keep place between them when switching formats. For instance, if I stop listening to the audiobook and open the ebook, it should jump to the same page/text where the audio stopped. If I read a few pages further into the ebook and jump back to the audio, it should start the audio at the top of the page where I left off or shortly before...doesn't have to be exact.

Why would this be helpful?

Makes it less tedious to switch mediums mid book. Sometimes I read text and then have to go to my car but want to keep going with a book....currently have to do a lot of seeking and page flipping to find my place each time I switch.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

No new UI, maybe a setting toggle. Just simply page to / seek based on what I described above

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.11.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

I was in the player and went to the ebook reader.
