I was having the same problem, but I figured it out after I read the user guide just last night, oddly enough! It's been bugging me for a while, too.

You can highlight by double-tapping a word or by tapping once and then dragging on the second time you touch the screen (see page 40 of the user guide on your 650). I read another post where they were talking about highlighting sections, which I couldn't figure out how to do without reading the user guide (I usually only read user guides at last resort -- I usually check here first).

What's happening is that when you try to turn the page, it is detecting two taps and is then highlighting. Although... this knowledge only goes so far. Even after finally figuring this out last night, I still accidentally highlighted some words instead of turning the page. But at least I know why now (and just use the page turn button on pages with really dense text).
