I ditched the (apparently perfectly fine) SD card that came with the Cybook and replaced it with a 2GB Transcend SD card. Power consumption dropped drastically. Access speeds and overall responsiveness both made huge leaps of improvement - and, oddly enough, bookmarks started to work and the Cybook faithfully remembered where I last stopped reading, even if I forgot to go back to the library screen before powering down. It continues to remember my last reading location for books even weeks after I last looked at them.
Thinking back, however, the bookmark/last read improvement also coincides more-or-less with my decision to stop connecting the Cybook and using Mobipocket to transfer the files. I now power down the Cybook, remove the SD card, put it in my laptop's card reader, transfer files via drag-&-drop, unmount the SD card, replace it in the Cybook, then power up again. What really resolved the problem? It's hard to say without some experimenting and I really don't feel like investing the necessary time and effort to figure it out. As long as it works properly now, I'm really not too terribly interested in figuring out exactly why.
