I got a PB360 for Xmas. This is the first ereader I've ever handled. For the most part, it's been relatively easy to use. But....

I brought it with me to work to read during lunch. Things went swimmingly. When it was time to get back to work, I used the bookmark function to mark my place (and it showed that the page had been bookmarked) and turned it off. I went to go read that book tonight and... no bookmark in that book and it didn't open to the last page read when I opened the book.

Thinking I'd maybe done something wrong I checked the user manual (which is really devoid of useful information). I created a bookmark to see if it would work (and it did), turned off the device and then turned it back on 30 minutes later and the bookmark was there and worked as it should. I want to delete that bookmark as it was just a test and can't for the life of me figure out how to do that.

I'm not terribly tech savy but I'm also not a complete idiot. The manual says...

"In order to delete bookmarks, choose one, place the cursor on it and press 'delete' button."

Sure. Sounds reasonable, only I can't find any delete button, there isn't anything that pops up asking me if I want to keep/delete anything and there's nothing in settings that would let me assign a delete key. The Hubby looked at it as well and can't see anything either. When one of the bookmarks is highlighted, if any button is pressed, it goes to whatever page is bookmarked (which is fine if that's what I wanted).

I'm rather frustrated with this right now and wondering if I made a mistake in purchasing this device when I could've spent the money on something else far less fury inducing. Any help on this in small words and easy to follow instructions would be greatly appreciated.
