Audible labels each “chunk” a chapter, which throws chapter count off. That is, for Audible, the Introduction is chapter one. Editor’s notes or author bio or forward could be chapter two. So by the time the book hits chapter one, Audible’s already up to two or three. In addition, for a book with volumes, as with Victorian novels, Audible will just keep a running total rather than resetting to chapter one as in the book text, so by that time the narrator will be very different indeed.

What manual sync are you referring to on your phone? Is it a function of the phone or Audible?
It’s an Audible function. Look at the drop-down menu in the upper right on the app and you can sync manually. Same for the Kindle app.
