How do I rename bookmarks with PW1?

Is it possible to rename the bookmark with PW1? When pulling the bookmark pull-down menu, all I see are the location numbers and the chapter numbers. Not a very user friendly way to quickly see the content of the bookmarks without actually looking at the content. I want to rename it to something more user friendly, similar to the way you rename the bookmark with your web browser.

I don't think you can change it. At least not with an un jailbroken Kindle. Maybe if it is jail broken you can, but I have no idea if that is the case since I've never jail broken mine.

Bookmarks do not have labels as such. Chapter names are determined by how the book is formatted, many books just label them sequentially.

You can use Notes to label a location that you want to mark. Also on the Paperwhite (I presume on Voyage and new Kindle Touch), if you tap a bookmark in the list, it will bring up a page preview for the page.
