Describe the feature/enhancement

Thanks for the great app. I love the bookmarks, and the fact that they sync.

A few minor things I'm missing:

As it is, I can only view bookmarks for the currently playing book. I would like for the UI to have an extra button in the book menu, e.g. here.

(I have to admit, a few times I clicked the 'mark as finished' button because I thought it looks like bookmarks.)

Secondly, I can only view bookmarks for the currently playing book. I would really like to make bookmarks in podcasts as well.

(And third, I would appreciate the bookmarks in e-books as well, but I understand that's probably further in the future.)

Added in v2.1.1

Bookmarks for podcast episodes should be in a different issue but I'm not sure about supporting that.
There is a request open for ebooks

@advplyr Thank you!

Do you not want podcast bookmarks? Why is that? (So I should not open a separate feature request?)

I often listen to books and podcasts on the go; but I still try to learn something from them. With books, I just make a bookmark and process it later, when I'm sitting at my computer; I'd like to be able to do the same with podcasts. (As it is, I either have to jot down a few keywords and hope I remember what I meant, or write down a timestamp manually... neither is very convenient.)

I see what you mean and can see the value in that. You can open another request for podcast episode bookmarks, I don't think it will be too difficult to implement.
