Working with web bookmarks [webOS 3.0 update] 15
This tip is only for devices running webOS 3.0 and higher
Saving a webpage as a bookmark is a great way to quickly access your favorite sites. Just as in webOS 1.x and 2.x, you can still save web bookmarks in webOS 3.x, but the process is a bit different from what you may be used to from your webOS phones.
You have two options on how to save a bookmark. The quickest and easiest way is to tap the send/share icon ( 
) to the right of the URL bar in the browser and then select "Add Bookmark". To access the bookmark in the future, just tap on the History/Bookmark panel icon ( 
) that is on the right of that top-bar in the web browser. This will pop-up a sliding pane from the right of the screen, which 3 additional selections within that pane. You will want to make sure the "bookmark" icon ( 
) is selected, listing all of your saved bookmarks. This also presents you with the second option of saving a bookmark, which is by tapping the "Add Bookmark" icon ( 
) on the bottom right of that pane.
Unlike in earlier versions of webOS, you can not initially specify the name or icon for the bookmark. In addition, once set, you can also not rearrange the bookmarks; they are just added to the top of the list. However, if you would like to change the text or the website address of the bookmark, you can tap on the 
icon to get a pop-up where you can edit those respective text fields. When you are done with the bookmark pane, just slide it to the right of the screen.

Has anyone come up with something approaching an elegant solution to importing bookmarks from Xmarks or the like?
I wanted to build an App for Xmarks but the terms of usage prohibit everything that is needed to reed content from Xmarks. And the Xmarks team didn't answer any of my messages.
Is there any way to organize your bookmarks, such as re-ordering the bookmark list or putting them in folders?
I think WebOS has an Opera bookmark importer. I'll check again, nut that's the only one I saw.
The fact you can't change it, and that it's the upper left hand corner, basically makes the icon pointless.
So I wish that the bookmark icon was just the favicon.ico image. And if there isn't one, then default to something generic.
I agree, it really bothers me that there is no way to change the icon, hopefully they will fix that with an update.
the way the bookmark is designed is kinda dumb. No way to group or rearrange your own bookmarks makes it very inconvenient. What if you had more than 20 or 30 bookmarks, you would have to keep scrolling down until you find it.
Totally agree. I hope they fix this and allow bookmark organizing and rearranging "in the coming weeks". ;)
I exported all my bookmarks from Firefox and then emailed them to myself. I opened my email in my TP and then clicked on the file. It opened as though it were a webpage and each "bookmark" was a hyperlink. I then saved that page/file as a bookmark. Not the easiest solution, but I now have access to all the websites on my computer.
I am searching for a bookmark app that lets you use bookmarks across all platforms you work on
computer at work, at home, parents, on the go, TP, pre
is there a tool that syncs all your bookmarks on the go? would be great - maybe thats what they call webos, however, I haven't found an app like that - yet
any advice, or proposal is always welcome
I want the bookmarks page to launch when i press the web browser icon
Hey folks, I made a little app for the Touchpad that retrieves bookmarks from delicious.com and pinboard.in , might be an option if you want to access your bookmarks on the go.
Here's the app: http://aaront.me/pinnned
And heres a promo code good for 10 copies (US only) for free. First come first serve. Otherwise, it's only 99 cents :)
Also, improvements coming soon, such as the ability to add bookmarks within the app, and search using JustType.
Code: 80c5b466-578f-4c82-a45a-56923b796867
or if you're on your touchpad, you can click here:

I'm sure it's probably obvious, but how do you delete a bookmark?
swipe it to the right...gives the Cancel Delete option
I cleared my history cookies and cache and my bookmarks disappeared is this a bug in 3.0.2
