Bookmarks: the original quicksave

I was reading a book on the bus, and halfway through Lincoln tunnel, I started moving the bookmark forward every other page.
As we got closer to the end of the tunnel, and I started moving the bookmark after every page, in anticipation of having to put the book away for the walk to the subway.

And then I realized...this is no different from constantly hitting F5 in an old FPS with quicksave.
