We had a simulair problem after syncing with the cloud. I was using 2 devices with one itunes account. That made a big mess.

I'm using 2 devices with one Apple ID, without any mess. My bookmarks are syncing without problems.

Reboot your iPad. Perhaps that will solve the problem.

Could you post a screenshot? At the moment I don't know exactly what you meant.

Where do you tap to see your bookmarks? If you tap the arrow, this appears:

To view the bookmarks, you have to tap the open book, then this should appear:

At the bottom of you r 2nd pic it has across the drop down, an open book, Little clock then what looks like a pair of glasses, if I click on the open book there I get just these sites...apple yahoo google Bing Ipad user guide
If I click on the clock I get the history of where i have browsed, If i click on the pir of glasses I get reading list
When I save a book mark it should show up under the open book but it vanishes

Ok when I click on the arrow, it comes up the same as in your 1st screen shot, then i tap the open book, in the middle of the bottom row as per your 1st screenshot. what then opens for me is a drop down box asking me to add a bookmark, if I try to add a bookmark of the site I am on at the time when that opens it wont save them in the bookmark it saves them in history as history
