Wherever I left off on my Fire gets picked up by the iPhone when I get in the car for a drive.

I've not had success in getting the audible app to sync properly. It could be that it has an issue with audible books loaded into iTunes verse downloaded directly from audible. The audible books will sync in iTunes, but you have to sync via iTunes and your computer which doesn't do a lot of good for me. In theory, I could just keep everything on my iPhone and not need to sync at all, but I like being able to just start the car and go, especially in the morning. Sure, we are only talking a couple of minutes, but a few minutes here and a few minutes there tend to add up. As Napoleon once said, ask anything of me but time.
Playlist are a big deal for me. In the car, I really don't want to be fiddling around with my iTouch while I'm driving. I don't want my tombstone to say that "he was looking for a new book rather than looking at the road"! Using playlists, when one book ends, the next one starts up automatically.
When I'm not in the car, I use playlists to keep tract of what I haven't listened too yet (i.e. to be read list) as well as organize books in series order. In addition, it allows me to arrange books in an order that helps me to avoid getting too burned out on a given author or book type.
