I've actually been using the Audible app via CarPlay. Yes, I do find that I have to pause and start the book via the phone from time to time. I only tried Books via CarPlay briefly, just to see what it was like and to make sure it worked. I'm hoping that ios 13 fixes those issues.
Sorry I misspoke. I meant Books on the Mac, not the iThing app, when iTunes proper goes away. I knew it handled audiobooks on the device, but I hadn't realized they'd be moving from iTunes to Books with Catalina, instead of to the new Music app.

I tend to liberate my audiobooks because I'm really picky about accurate chapters and metadata, so I haven't used the Audible app yet. But Books on Carplay is messy. Actually, I've noticed the problem with a blank display happening with a lot of media programs, including Podcasts and other Audiobooks app. I just haven't had any success in isolating what causes it to start behaving that way.
