I think yk's idea is excellent - I'm actually working on it right now. You're correct that the book locations need to be about as long as the book to provide sufficient unique values - but it isn't humanly or temporally possible for people to bookmark that many pages - so a separate index of bookmarked pages could use much shorter urls.

and please make the bookmarks unguessable and private. I want to sent moderately private letters, that where already "written" in the library :)

I'm glad you suggested that - will do.
