Technically speaking, anything inserted into the pages near the spine is not good for the spine. But that is just on a pure theoretical basis. In reality, a standard thin (paper) bookmark will not cause harm. I agree that the thick bookmarks are stupid not only because they can harm the book, but also because they fall out too easily.

If you do that in our house, Susan will cut your nuts off. Me: if it is a paperback, I don't care.
However, she uses paperclips as her bookmarks as they are far less prone to falling out. When I point out that they mark the pages akin to the marking left by folding overs pages, she doesn't have a strong response. Oh well.
