Actually, I don't know much about either option.  I figured that
Bookmarks would allow me to mark a spot and give it a name or some
brief description so that I could get back to it quickly.  By
annotating I mean writing extensive notes and attaching them to a
given paragraph or word or something along those lines.  If I can do
that with Bookmarks then that's a nice win.  Probably at some point
today I'll read up on both.  I'll send out my decision for those who
are interested.

Thanks again for the help!
