I don't have crashes, nor do I know why the OP has his crashing, but one of the reasons for clicking option, and then reclicking it, is that when pressing option, there's a clock, and if you click option again, you go back to your reading.
I'm thinking that some files are corrupt, wrecking havoc. It might not even be files it can read, but which will show up in finder/windows explorer when connected.
I have a portable recorder (well, a couple), one of them has both a harddisk and cf card (slot). I use the harddisk for storage of things such as portable apps (besides the recorded audio, of course). But the entire recorder freezes when browsing the harddisk (via the recorder) if there is a .dmg file on it. It records just fine with it on the hdd/cf card, but you can't browse anything.
So, in short, my bet is that it's either some file format present in storage, or it's a corrupt file somewhere.
If I were to problem solve, I'd wipe everything, format the memory and pull blocks of ten files over at a time, checking each time. This way, when the problem reappears you will only have to take a closer look at your latest 10 items.
I hope the OP finds out what is wrong, but I have to say that it really doesn't speak well on the credibility account that he claims that it's impossible to read while charging from a wall wart. At least he could have found the thread about all the problems with Apple chargers and Apple-compatible chargers.
