For example, in HTML files, the bookmarks still work quite well (the way they're described in the printed manual), while in ePubs, you have to use the menu/ok button to bring up the menu and then go into Bookmarks and... it's a PITA.
The good news is that you can have more than 5 bookmarks with this method. Using button 6 will continue as long as you want. You will need to display the list to select one. You then use the numbers 1 to 5 to pick the one you want or 9/0 to move between pages. Hold the number button down a couple of seconds to remove the book mark.

It is true that only the page number is stored in bookmarks (all book marks actually). One ADE this means that if you are not using the smallest font size you will have more than one virtual page per page number. Sony solved this by having a virtual page like 2-1 for ADE page 2 and virtual page 1 after that.

Note that all bookmarks for Jinke are only referencing a page number (except maybe mobi, I haven't checked that one). What this means is that if you use format that renumbers the document when you change zoom levels your book mark will go to the wrong place as the page 8 won't be the same place with large fonts as it is will small ones. Making sure the font size is the same as when you bookmarked will insure the right location.
