Lee, Using iPhone 6+ with LG Bluetooth earbuds. I can pause, vol up & down, stop. When I return it resumes where I leave off. I can change chapters from the headset, I can scrub through the chapter using the very indiscreet line under the book icon. I can change the playback speed. Not sure what you mean by more than one book in library at s time? Like you all my time is spent with audio books, I have dozens, stopping one, returning to a previous book allows me to take up where I left off. It's a quick process to move from one to the other.
