There are two sets of back and forward buttons on the Hanlin V3; on the left side, halfway up, and the '9' and '0' buttons (bottom row to the right). BTW, you might be intersted to compare the price of the Bebook with the Hanlin sold at pixelar.co.uk.
The 5" BeBook Mini is a Hanlin V5, which has the same key layout as the V3 in a smaller body. In addition to the two sets of back and forward buttons, it adds a scroll wheel on the right side. For a good set of pictures (the EZ Reader Pocket Pro is yet another name for the Hanlin V5), see More detailed pictures of Pocket PRO.

There are currently very few people with a Hanlin V5. The EZ Reader Pocket Pro is shipping August 31st in the US.
