On the Kindle, a new bookmark is created at the top of the current page. Since the page size depends on the font size, this could be anywhere in the ebook. If you want a particular line or word, this would be a highlight - which are also available on the Kindle. You can display and search the highlighted text (it is stored in a plain text file) and go back to a highlight. There is a per book "clippings" limit, which I think applies to highlights as well.
On the Hanln V3 and V5 (EZ Reader's, BeBook's, and other names) using mobile Adobe Digital Editions, a bookmark is at the top of the "physical" page. Which is an actual page in a PDF and a fixed amount of text by default in an ePub.
I'm not sure about other Readers, but it makes sense to me that a bookmark marks a page and a highlight marks a passage of text. Some Readers don't have highlighting. See
Wiki: E-book Reader Matrix, which has a "Note taking / highlighting / underlining" row.
