Business cards. Torn pieces of paper. Photographs. Tissue. Toilet paper. Leaves.
Now before you get any weird ideas, no, I'm not reciting a list of things I've, um, "used in a pinch" when nature calls. Instead, those are just some of the wonderful things your guide has personally used as bookmarks when reading his sophisticated, pinkie-raising collection of published works.
Fortunately for iPad owners, you don't need to, like, tape a leaf on your touchscreen to remember a page you want to get back to when using iBooks (though you're certainly more than welcome to try). All it really takes is a simple touch.
To set a bookmark, simply tap on the bookmark icon on the top right of the eBook (or is it iBook?) page you want to remember. Seriously, that's it. Also note that the iPad automatically remembers where you leave off when reading. But being able to set bookmarks certainly helps when you want to remember multiple pages, like, say, all the parts that mention the word "intoxicating" in your favorite romance novel.
To find your bookmarks, just tap on the top left icon right next to the Library icon. This will let you access the Table of Contents and all your bookmarks.
Like your greatest hits of face-palming relationship snafus, however, there are also times when it's better to forget stuff. To make your iPad forget or remove a bookmark, just tap on the bookmark icon again. Now if only it was that easy to forget the suit you wore on your prom night...
