I hate gratuitous extra taps, but I'm with you that 2 makes it harder to accidentally bookmark. Going from 1 to 2 also made it faster and easier to go to existing bookmarks.
I'm skeptical that going to 3 is anything but bad.
Regarding the poll title and available response choices, it strikes me as analogous to the question "when are you going to stop beating your wife?".

I’m running the latest firmware and it is only 2 taps to create one, not 3 (tap in upper right corner, tap on + icon). One tap brings up list of all of the existing bookmarks (with page/location and chapter annotation), which you navigate to by tapping on one of them and then on the page preview (3 taps). Removing takes 3 taps. I don’t think any of this has changed recently (since Page Flip feature).
But I even 2 taps is one too many, not to mention 3 to remove.
Of course, it should be upper right corner 1 tap create, 1 tap delete (as it was in days of old). I would then add long tap gesture to upper right corner as a shortcut to bring up the list of bookmarks (as well as current tap to bring up options, tap bookmarks icon to bring up list).
Despite the inefficiency in creating and removing, I prefer what the current Kindle does because at least it is easier to get to a list of bookmarks and then navigate to them. They aren’t mixed in with the notes and highlights as with the Kindle apps and pre-Page Flip Kindles, which makes them almost useless as navigation aids.
No doubt Kobo eReaders are better at this, but I don’t use bookmarks very much.
