I charged up my ALP (I got it to run some tests and explore the differences between it
and my 4 jetBook Lite [JBL]) and reread your OP.

You seem to be missing a part of the bookmark process. The bookmark doesn't set where
the book will open to. The bookmark is added to a list that you access through
the second item in the "Function" menu when you are in an ebook "Bookmark List".
You can have pages of bookmarks listed and you make them so that you can quickly
return to a page you have already read. (Depending on the size of the font used on a
page, the page will be displayed on a number of screen pages, check the page number at
the top of the screen.) It's too bad that they don't let you title the bookmarks, (like they
do in the jetBook Color), you only have the number in parentheses, and the page number
to go by.

A number of ALP/JB/JBL users use the free Calibre program (it has a forum here on MR)
to organize their collection of ebooks, as well as convert from format to format. Calibre
can work with your SD card, in a reader on your PC, as if it were a folder on your hard
drive. That way you can place sorted collections on the SD card using Calibre's extensive book management tools.

I personally just made a folder on my PC, that holds my ebook library, and use the free
Microsoft "SyncToy" to copy that folder (or as much of it as I want) to my SD card in
my PC's card reader. I have it set so that any changes I make to the PC folder are made
on the SD card, so that the SD card remains a copy of my PC folder. That way I can
use all the tools on my PC to manage the files in the PC folder, very easily and quickly.
Then when I want to update the SD card I just place it in the PC's card reader and run
SyncToy, where only the changes needed are made.

Luck;
