Yes, the Opus does freeze from time to time, but it is the most trivial of inconveniences - simply reboot it (which is a key sequence - you certainly don't have to dismantle the machine!) and 20s later you're reading again. The long-awaited firmware update for the Opus should fix this, but it's certainly not a show-stopper. Overall, the Opus is an excellent device. What tips the balance in favour of the PRS-600 for me is the annotation and dictionary lookup.

NB: When I say "the 600 is not blurry", I don't mean that the screen is as good as a device without a touch screen; it certainly isn't. The touch layer on the screen does degrade the image quality slightly, but, for me, the benefits that the touch screen give you enormously outweigh that.
