is the page-fold bookmark acceptable to you?
Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?

Only for Lush Stories.
Don't believe everything that you read.

It is acceptable unless it's a library book! LOL! (They hate that sort of thing there!)

I have no strong feelings about this, but I would like the tiny but beloved library I pass on to my kids, and them perhaps to their kids (if anyone still reads books anymore by then) not have the corners of the pages fall off due to bookmarking.
Paperbacks are an exception - fold away.

*Stares in horror* books are sacred. always carry a bookmark.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
The Linebacker
If it is my book and it's a paperback, yeah, no big deal. No on hardbacks or other people's books I've borrowed. If the book belongs to someone else I show them enough respect not to fold the page corners and am careful as possible with it.

Drives me mad to see books defaced this way.
Unless it's a tax book - which I use a lot for constant reference, or other working reference book, I never do it. Bookmarks are free in Libraries and most book shops, such as Waterstones, always have a pile of them at the tills so there's no excuse.
I also hate to see grubby finger marks on pages too!

I don't dog-ear.
However, I have no problem with laying a book face-down and hurting the spine. Go figure.

Definitely not library or other borrowed books.
I might dog ear my own if it's a book I refer to regularly (e.g. one of my religious/philosophical texts) and there's specific pages I frequently access, but I use a bookmark for temporarily marking my spot.
PS. Didn't answer the poll because there's no middle ground. Neither of those extremes fits my response.

I dog-ear and devil-tail books as wanted. Don't care. I don't believe a physical book is so sacred I cannot show it some love and use. I actually collect old, tattered books that are ranked C, D and F by collectors. I don't care so much for pristine things because they make me feel gloomy - like someone just collected books with no intention of reading them. Perhaps that's why I like collecting dictionaries.

Exactly this. You wouldn't know that I'd read a book by its physical appearance. No page-folding or spine bending.
A young woman I work with folded over the corner of her book when I went over to talk to her during lunch. I make some disapproving noises which made her cheeks flush like Chinese lanterns at New Year. Apparently she'd never done the page-folding thing before and promised to never do it again. We talk so much now that we don't get around to reading anyway.
Primus Omnium
This topic brings to mind Rex Stout and his detective Nero Wolfe. Archie Goodwin would watch his employer reading books and could tell from the way he handled them whether Nero had a good opinion of the author. If he used his gold bookmark he held the writer in esteem, if he used a common paper bookmark he was willing to give the author the benefit of the doubt for the time being, but if he started dog-earring the books that indicated that his opinion had changed. He didn't think well of the author's work.
Personally, I love books. I've never folded a corner over in any book. It's almost a spiritual thing with me. But, if you own the book do as you please.

Guilty. I have lost so many book marks I just gave up. Never a library book.

It may sound odd but very little annoys me more than a folded page corner. I even try to read a paperback without creasing or cracking the spine and people who wet their fingers and pinch the page corners of a magazine... just don't get me started on that!
