Not if you let the first linked page be site.com/1, the next one site.com/2 and so on, I think.

Yes, even then.

Sure "1" and "2" are pretty short. And even "57834573495879436129386943" is pretty short.

But the average link would have so many digits, I couldn't post it in this comment.

  • The bookmarks would only need to map to the book locations - you would only need sufficient values for the number of bookmarked pages, not the entire range of possibilities.

How does that even make sense? Taking a lower base will only require more characters.
