Also, having had a longer experience with V3 - is there anything particularly annoying in it when compared to PRS-505? I don't know, inability to bookmark pages, frequent crashes, stuff like that?

Issues? Yes still after all this time and a few firmware updates. I still regret buying a Bebook and not paying the extra money for a Sony
My top 3 issues:
1. Memory corruption: this happens frequently and requires you to plug the Bebook in to a computer and run a disk repair/chkdsk on the internal memory. Carry a USB cable with as I often need to do this at work or accessible computer. Symptoms are: bookmarks not working and crashes.
2. Mobi format issue:Crashing and restarting when the device hits a character it doesn't know/doesn't like. This doesn't happen that often but when it does it is impossible to get past in short of reading that page on a computer and skipping on the Bebook or converting the book to something else - .lit is ugly but works. There is no other way around this as that page cannot be displayed.
3. Some batches of the Bebook have a dodgy screen that is never truly white or black. Mine is like this
