According to the EVE back-story, pods kill their pilots in the event of failure, initiating the transfer to a new clone immediately after.
What I want to know, would this process be painful for the victim?
I am asking out of a role-playing perspective. |

If all goes as planned, no. You die the instant that emergency scan is made, no pain at all. Just knowing that you died when you wake up halfway across the cluster in your new body.
(the moment itself tends to be missing though)
The Empyrean Age novel indeed gives a lot of insight into these matters, and it's a good read too.

AFAIK according to the scientific articles and chronicles, when you are podded two things happen:
1) a snapshot of your brain's state is taken to be uploaded to the clone
2) immediately after a strong neurotoxin is injected into the brain of the soon-to-die capsuleer. |

I've been wondering. If you just pop into a clone, then does nobody ever actually die? I mean, there wouldn't even be any aging, since you'd just pop into a clone (and presumably if you have the technology to create a clone, you have the technology to control its age). |

…no, but apparently it hurts to use a shield booster, at least according to the description of blue pill boosters.

plenty of people die (very few are pod-pilots to begin with) and the process can also be sabotaged.
*bit of a spoiler from Empyrean Age* you can disable or damage the hardware that transfers the template to a waiting clone, leading to either death or a really bad case of amnesia with the original template rather unavailable.

being podded hurts, when you see it as humiliation.
or if you carried a slave set. |

i think that's pretty much correct - in EA and other fiction they are referred to as "immortals" and what you've put here has always been my understanding of why they're called that.

And even if it was painful, one wouldn't remember it, as the snapshot was taken prior to the toxin being injected, got it. |

you should try this. place a foot thick piece of metal around you, find a large torpedo...
detonated it while standing behind wall while car battery goes off at the last second basically saving your soul and moving it to a new clone. while your old physical form goes from flesh to cinders. that's my view.

The first you intentionally open the air seal on your pod because you want a fast trip to some far-away station you don't have a jumpclone in - it kinda hurts a little bit. Takes a moment for the brain scanner to kick in.
Blowing that icky pod-goo out of my nose when I climb out of the clone vat. That hurts a little bit too. Kidna like when water goes up your nose at a swimming pool.
Plunking down almost $61 million ISK for a new clone and a new +4 implant set - that hurts more than both put together. I stock up on implants though when I see 'em going for cheap.

You're pretty much hardwired into the ship and it becomes your body - I believe the chronicle Wet Grave describes how one of the first non-Jovians to enter a pod could literally feel the crew moving around inside of him ...

Then that would mean ships do have crews?
Wow, now I feel bad for jettisoning nearly a hundred shuttles and aggressing the station so the sentries would pop them

The brain-scan has to be instantaneous to capture the state of the brain at, well, that instant, so no, I'm sure the capsuleer would feel nothing and would just wake up covered in goo in a vat somewhere else.

How was the cave you've been living it? Yes, it's been confirmed several times by dev forum posts, news articles, chronicles, etc. All pod-controlled ships bigger than frigates have crews.
Shuttles would most likely not have crews, as they're basically like private planes or flying cars. I doubt even conventional, non-pod-fitted shuttles require more maybe two crew (pilot and co-pilot or navigator, maybe).
For other ships there are probably escape pods for the crew. They just wouldn't show up on sensors, as they'd be tiny lifeboats.
