I am taking some test photos with my A650 to see if the Image
Stabilizer works correctly. I have turned off flash, and am taking
pictures of books. I am purposely moving the camera slightly while I
take the picture. The photos are coming out a little blurry. I thought
the Image Stabilizer was supposed to prevent this?

No, on two counts.

First, stabilization is stops minor movements that you are not trying
to make. It is small movements. It isn't big enough to go against
your muscles. Well, maybe a steadicam could, but that's about the
only way to do it.

Second, there's a better thing for stabilization when shooting books.
It's called a tripod.

(FYI, if you use a tripod, shut your stabilization off).
