About Notebook's new features - labels, bookmarks - Google Labs - Notebook | Google Groups:
I think the integration of Google Notebook and Google Bookmarks makes a lot of sense, unless you had only been using Google Notebook to hand- type notes.
When used to capture snippets from pages, by default it included a link to the page.
Also, bookmarks allowed comments to be associated with them.
So, ultimately, there were two different ways to store URLs and associated notes in Google. By merging the two, there would be a lot less confusion.

-If I create a bookmark, the note ends up in the Unfiled notebook.
-If I create a new note from scratch INTO the Unfiled notebook, it
becomes a bookmark.
-If I drag the note from the Unfiled notebook to a named notebook,
my bookmark disappears.
[But] -If I drag the note back into the Unfiled notebook, the bookmark
remains gone.

My suggested solution would be to allow NOTES within Google Notebook to be STARRED. This would become more consistent with the starring capabilities of Gmail, and would also make sense regarding the use of stars with bookmarks. that's a very solid idea. good.
By doing this, it would allow users to "file" their Bookmarks (as notes) into their own named notebooks... but still keep these as bookmarks, by keeping them starred. Unstarring a note would remove it from bookmarks (but it would still remain as a note.)
(and thus) This would also allow users to rename the Unfiled notebook to Bookmarks or anything of their choosing... or place the notes (bookmarks) in various different notebooks without adversely affecting their bookmarks.

and right: Newly created bookmarks would automatically appear in an "Unfiled" notebook unless (or until) filed away in a particular notebook. I was basically doing this by keeping my top notebook as "current" and then later filing or deleting the notes that had been by default put there.
