If you know a little sql you can do some tricks. The bookmarks are
stored in an sqlite3 database in your ~/.qgis/qgis.db database.

Using command line sql or one of several free sqlite3 admin frontends,
you can query to get out the bookmarks or create new ones e.g.

sqlite3 ~/.qgis/qgis.db

sqlite> select * from tbl_bookmarks;
