Yes, in the "glitch state" it can still appear to work normally for reading: the screen updates, page turns and menus are responsive, and I can keep reading.

However, in that state:
  • a short slide of the power switch does nothing (no LED / no sleep-wake),
  • USB also stops enumerating (PC doesn’t detect it at all),
  • and if it goes to sleep by timeout/screensaver, it often cannot be woken with the slider.

So it’s not a full freeze/crash, more like certain functions (sleep/wake event handling and USB) stop responding until a reboot.
