Absolutely. All my reference books include bookmarks.
However, that's still not guaranteed to be a nice UI when there are hundreds of them. Since there's no way to split the screen vertically and allow scrolling of the list of bookmarks, I have a feeling it still wouldn't work very well.
Perhaps the manifest is the solution again here. If I could define a small number of useful bookmarks in there, it would work well. I'd just stick in one for the first contents page and the first index page ... plus any specific pages I find myself jumping to all the time.
Even nicer would be if there was a way to add a bookmark via the GUI, so I don't need to edit the manifest by hand. Ie, a button in the toolbar that means "Put a bookmark here".
However, that's just a nicety. I'd be happy enough just to have a way to do it at all.
By the way, I
do realise my needs may be a bit different to most other people's
I just think adding facilities to easily jump around documents means the difference between the Iliad being an incredibly useful reference tool and just a novel reader ... which in itself is still fantastic.
