I often find amazon's UI changes make things worse for me and it took a while for me to get used to the "new" bookmarks. But once I did, it now works better for me.
I was frequently accidentally making new bookmarks with the old system and had trouble remembering how to get to existing bookmarks. Now that I am used to it, the current system is fine for me. I can see that it could be very awkward once there are a lot of bookmarks in a book.
