1. The book had some nice features, such as: a hard-bound cover, a ribbon for a bookmark, and the author’s signature. You don't need a colon or any other mark of punctuation in this sentence.
2. German grammar is simple: in that language, and there are no exceptions to the rules. Use a semi-colon instead of the colon.
The last two sentences are correctly punctuated.
