Have you been setting the bookmark just before powering off the Cybook?

When I was having bookmark problems I was manually setting a bookmark, waiting for the bookmark to appear on the screen and then powering off. My theory is that although the bookmark appeared on the screen the system was still writing to the ".MBP" file and this process was interrupted by the power down process which kicks off another bookmark write to the same file and sometime corrupts it.

I stopped manually setting the bookmark and just trusted the auto bookmark and haven't had a problem in the last 3 months. I do still manually set bookmarks but not just before power off.

You can just delete the ".MBP" file and it will recreate it but you've lost any bookmarks. My experience is that once the ".MBP" file is corrupt you get bizarre things happening. Fonts changed, justification changed and bookmarks showed up and disappeared depending on where you were in the book.
