With the BeBook, two drives appear - one for the internal memory and one for the SD-card (if inserted). I eject one of these drives, and before I can eject the other the first one reconnects - a classic infinite loop! In the end, I just pull the (USB) plug - not great, because you always get an error warning saying the device was not ejected properly and data may be lost. Not an issue, because I always check that all files have copied onto the card before doing this, and I always try once (in vain) to eject it anyway. But it is annoying, and should not happen - I am awaiting BeBook's response.

I have the same issue with my V2, & in a way, I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one to see this issue.
I have found a workaround for this - basically, you need to use Disk Utility (in the Applications/Utilities folder). Click on the disk, then "Unmount", NOT "Eject". If you perform an "Unmount", the V3 shouldn't reconnect. At this point, you can unplug the V3 without OS X complaining (even if you haven't ejected it).
Hope that helps!
