On your Mac, too.
Ecapsa on the Mac is its own app, made for a window and a keyboard: two pages side by side, a Now Playing rail, highlights you can drag onto tags, and ⌘K to search every book you have.
Start a book on the Mac and move the audio to your iPhone with Play on. The page follows the narration on both.
