Totally agree. A tab is just an open bookmark.
But it's pretty clear that the bookmark metaphor is getting stale, now that we all spend all our time in a browser. I like the authors analog of looking around at his desk and bookshelves to see his reference material.
You don't find the quote you are looking for by iterating thru all the dog eared pages in every book on your shelves - you know what shelf the poetry is on, you look at the spines, you pull out the Billy Collins, look at the table of contents and skim to Introduction to Poetry[1] (its a good one).
Tab groups, pinned and vertical tabs help a bit but there's a lot more to be done.
Not to mention unifying my bookmarks (ie web resources regularly referenced) with other notes and information sources.
