pictures would be helpful.
5: Does kindle have anti-radiation support?I've read for example on HANVON'S website that their readers have no radiation at all.

Question 1:
All Kindles remember the last position read for every single book. They even sync wirelessly between the units in your account: You can start a book on iPhone, continue at exactly the same position on your PC and finish on Kindle. I use this between iPad (Kindle app) and Kindle itself. That's the main reason why I've replaced my DX Gen1 (US version) by DX Graphite = to have the international version = 3G in Germany.
When you enter standby while a book still is open, Kindle starts with the opened book at the last position.
In addition to the momentary reading position you manually can set bookmarks of course.
BTW: That's not unique for Kindles, most readers behave that way.
Question 2:
You can jump to any position you want by "Go to.." menu.
Question 3:
By "bookmarks" do you mean chapter markers of the table of content?
It's working with some workarounds, but in general I still wouldn't recommend Kindles for PDFs.
Question 4:
In general, all ePaper readers only have basic web features.
It's simply no fun to surf the web, when refresh of the page takes 0.5 to 1 second.
I mainly use 3G for shopping and downloading content. Rarely for Wikipedia or dictionaries.
It looks absolutely okay (b/w of course). But it's simply too slow.
If web capability is of importance for you, iPad may be the better choice.
Question 5:
Sorry, I have no idea. Would have to check the technical description on Amazon's website as well.
But my guess: Displays of all ePaper readers are the same. This should be the main/sole source for any radiation or similar issues. So all units should be the same.
