Booksmarks on a kindle paperwhite

[Sakuko]

Hi guys. Maybe you can help me out, because the amazon help is useless for this.

I've been having my kindle for a year or so, and for the live of me, I can't figure out how to use bookmarks.

I assume that when I click on the small flag icon on the right that I'm creating a bookmark for the page, right?
So, how can I got back to the bookmarks I created?
Is there any way to see on the page, that I bookmarked it?

I've had a Tolino before the kindle (still have it, actually), and bookmarks are so much more intuitive on that device then on the kindle.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

What Kindle do you have? On my Paperwhite 3 with the newest firmware (your mileage may vary), I touch the upper right corner of a page while reading. The "flag" icon (as you call it, I think it's a stylized bookmark) then pops up in the upper right corner, with the page number and a + icon. Touching + creates a bookmark. The "flag" is then permanently in the top right corner of that page.

I can browse my bookmarks by touching the upper part of a page to bring up the main Kindle menu, and then pressing the bookmarks icon (looks like two bookmarks on top of each other) shows me all bookmarks.

Oh, I get it. I assumed the + meant a bookmark has been created, I didn't know you have to tab twice for something to happen.
That explains why I couldn't find the bookmarks again.

Thanks, that helped a lot. :)

Yep.
