Describe the feature/enhancement

I would be great if Audiobookshelf automatically created certain bookmarks.
Sometimes a single missclick causes me to lose the position in my audiobook, some audiobook apps (for example Bookplayer https://github.com/TortugaPower/BookPlayer) create bookmarks in certain situations to prevent this from happening.

These bookmarks should overwrite themselves to prevent cluttering the bookmark list, each event should always have one bookmark created until the same event happens again and the bookmark gets overwritten.

This would be my proposed events for automated bookmark creation(1. and 3. are probably the most useful):

  1. Starting playback
  2. Stopping playback
  3. Changing playback position by more than x Minutes.
  4. jumping to the next chapter/changing chapter

This has already been implemented in the history section for the app in the 3-dot menu, I think the ui is missing in the web version.

I apologize, but I have been unable to locate what you are describing on either the iOS App or the Webview.
