Had mine for a month or so. It's never crashed. I use epubs and pdfs. No lrfs.

Yeah, the font size options is a weak point.

Single clicking brings up the dictionary. I find it works fine.

I picked up a $15 universal charger the other day. Works on the Opus. I reckon it'll work on the 650 too, though I haven't tried.

Can you read while charging other E-readers?

Personally I have found the 650 to be an excellent device. I use the bilingual dictionaries, annotation and memo features a great deal (I use it a lot for research). Otherwise, if I was going purely for an ereader, I'd probably go for the cheaper Kindle.
