I just wish there was something like Androids "Smart Audiobook Player" available for iOS. That's a great app.

There are a couple of decent audiobook apps for iOS but IIRC not free. Also, if you can find an app in Linux which can make audiobooks, your bookmarking issues will be solved.
I'm going to research this for you (but also for me, as I am rapidly approaching a time where I can no longer afford to upgrade my MacOS hardware and will need to switch to Linux). ON macOS I use an app called Audiobook Builder, it works well, and you can add covers etc and book info, its not all completely automatic.
I'll update this post as I find links.
Audiobook Creator:
https://www.ausge.de/ausge-download/abc-info-english Should solve your bookmarking problems. I havent ever used this but it seems like its probably the only one in existence. And requires Ubuntu (or one of its forks, I would think would be OK.). If you are using a different flavour, you might be SOL. Go buy the Android.
Now looking for the app I want to link. Note that your Audiobooks will all end up in iBooks. When originally they played in itunes, all bookmarking was respected. I think it still is, in iBooks, but if you have a dedicated app on board, it will get the iBooks audio content and info.
And here it is: Audiobooks HQ. There's a free (ad supported) version and a paid one. Link is to the website.
http://www.audiobookshq.com. There is an option to get audiobooks from a store, or free site (there are a few links) but you can listen to your own, as long as you can get them on board. Its a while ago now (4-5 years) but I'm pretty sure that it was either Banshee or Rhythmbox which were able to talk to my iPhone, and sync back and forth. Not apps, though, you'll just have to get those via the app store.
