This is an option in the viewer. They can be stored in the file, or somewhere else on the machine.

epub 3.0 support bookmarking inside the epub file, right?
Absolutely no idea. From memory, the epub3 specs do include a way to do the referencing for bookmarks, but I don't think they are intended to be added to the actual file. I think the standard is for references that can be passed between apps and the app is expected to store the bookmarks wherever the app wants to.

when calibre will support epub 3.0 bookmarking in its viewer, then you will find it usefull to do this king of importation, right ?
I have no expectation that the calibre viewer will ever support "epub 3.0 bookmarking". All I understand is that Kovid has plans to support some form of annotations in the viewer. I have no idea how he plans to do this, or when. If the epub 3 spec makes sense, then he might adapt that.
Quote:
you don't find it very useful to convert kobo bookmark to "calibre bookmark" as they are both not linked inside the epub ?
No, as it stands, the bookmarks in the calibre viewer does not support the same features as the Kobo bookmarks. Because of this, I don't think it is very useful to convert them. Or maybe I should say, I have no interest in doing the conversion. When the viewers bookmark support changes, I'll definitely look at it. In the meantime, if someone wants to look at doing it, that's great and I'll help if I can.
