Attached is Great Expectations.lrf.

This is how I created the crash on my 505:

1) downloaded the epub from MR
2) loaded it into Calibre (IT IS AN OLD VERSION OF CALIBRE, 0.5.10)
3) Changed the author name to Dickens, Charles in the Metadata
4) Converted it to LRF
5) Downloaded to my 505 using Calibre's download specific format to main memory
6) Went to Books by Title
7) Selected G H I
8) Selected Great Expectations
9) The book formatted (the spinning wheels)
10) I went to continue reading, the title page came up
11) I pressed the magnifier button (to get to medium), and the formatting started
12) Wait a couple of seconds (the arrows were turning), and pressed the magnifier button again. Some time after, the screen went blank and it restarted

Once it restarted, It wouldn't crash for that book again. It did do a reformat for the three font sizes successfully. This is what always happens when it crashes for me: it crashes on a book, but after the crash, I don't have any problems with that book.

I was able to reproduce the crash with the same book:

A) I then deleted the book and repeated steps 1-10. I then pressed the magnify button, and some time latter, the title was displayed in medium.
B) I then pushed the magnify button again, and some time latter it crashed

Like I said before, I tried similar steps with the count of Monte Cristo, and no crash. I wasn't able to get it to crash for The Woman in White.

Important notes:

This was on my 505, I didn't have access to the 650.
The version of Calibre I used was an old version. I like this version because I seem to have greater success creating LRFs in the format I like.
I believe the firmware version on my 505 is the latest commercial version. There is no modded firmware or hacks installed on the 505, and the 650 should have had the latest firmware.

Also (for AGB), I haven't been able to test the charger on the 650 yet, but still plan to.
