[Feature request] (Android/iOS) Add option to Highlight or Take Note #1009

As of now, Apple Books on my iPad is my main way of reading ebooks. What is stopping me from migrating to ABS is the lack of the option to higlight sections of a book. Apple Books gives you the option to higlight in yellow, green, blue, pink, purple and red. This great if you want to highlight things such as favorite quotes, important character or world information, sad moments and so on.

The option to add notes to a highlight is a great tool when you want to add more information to the quote, such as who said it or what it means for the story.

Duplicate of https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/1558 I believe. It's in the other repo so easy to miss. Although it probably belongs here rather than the main repo anyway.

I'd love the ability to add annotations too, especially notes.

One additional thing that would be great would be to access the annotations (highlights, underlines, notes about certain text) programmatically from the server, like through an API. Then these could automatically be pulled into other apps. For example, I could have a notes app like Obsidian that automatically keeps a list of all the highlights and notes I've made for the books I'm reading.

This would be amazing! Big +1

I would also love to see this since Google Books as well as Tolino readers have the same feature.

My use case is to easily find where I left reading, since different screen sizes can make it tricky to find the part.

This would be a great feature. Including bookmarks seems fitting to this request.
