More than a month ago, I ordered the V3 special promotion version directly from Hanlin (in China) and there was no option for the internal storage. When it was delivered (about 1 week after ordering) it turned out that they shipped the V3-EXT version, the one with 512MB on-board. So, I guess that, unless you order from a reseller which might have old stock, Hanlin only ships the V3-Ext models.

Note about USB 1.1. Hanlin ships the V3 including a USB 2.0 stick that you can use with the SD memory card. This that transferring data goes at normal USB 2.0 speed. I have quite some books but never transferred directly to the ebook's reader internal memory. It's even recommended to store your ebooks on the memory card and not in the internal memory. One of the first recommendations when when you want to change firmware is to backup all the books from internal memory.
