Hi. I'm getting some inconsistent results when I compare what I
experienced with my previous set of instructions compared to what I'm
hearing now as I explore some bookmarks that I stored in one of my
books. Instead of hearing a sentence associated with a bookmark, which
was very helpful, I'm now getting a location, such as "location 174"
which is not as helpful. Furthermore, double-tapping one of these
locations doesn't seem to exit the menu to take me to the marked
position. I obviously either don't fully understand how the bookmarks
feature works or the feature is buggy. I leave this up to someone with
more experience with bookmarks who might be able to help.

Hi.
To add a bookmark:
1. Make sure you are focused on where you'd like the bookmark to be
added in your book.
2. While your book is open, double-tap with one finger. It doesn't
matter where on the screen you double-tap. This will open a menu of
options which are available in the book.
3. Swipe to Bookmarks and double-tap.
4. Swipe to "Add Bookmark" and double-tap, which adds a bookmark.
To locate your previously added bookmarks, repeat steps 1 through 3.
However, you will now see a section in this menu which reads "Your
Bookmarks."
Swipe past this and you will hear a section of the page where you
previously added your bookmarks. Double-tapping a sentence in this menu
should take you to the page with the bookmark.

Hi Kathy. I don't do bookmarks, but, I do notice when I do a single
tap followed by a double tap on the screen when a book is
talking-back, I get a drop down which has a link for bookmark. Hope
this helps.
Stay well. William

I have several cookbooks on my 5th Generation Fire. I want to keep
them for reference. I want to mark recipes that I liked or that I want
to try. I know how to set a bookmark in Kindle for PC, but how do I do
it on the Fire? I tried searching in Google but didn't find much
information that seemed pertinent.
I tried opening the Help section, but it seems to open in Silk browser.
I could get VoiceView to read headings but not much else. Any help
would be appreciated.
