I have a new Gen3 (lets call it Gen3.512).

My old screen suddenly died (while in the case...). Conclusion 1: e-ink screens are excessively frail.

While amazon is replacing kindles under the same circumstances, bookenn won't.
Long story short, I got a new Gen3 with FW708. And I can assure you battery life is nowhere near what it was before.

After just one afternoon reading, it's down to 90%.

Since I can't go back to 538 I just hope Bookeen will solve this ASAP once and for all.

@Tom: any news from bookeen since your last mail?
