It's based on Windows "Sideshow" which is a Vista-specific feature. No, it won't need to be running while you're reading; just to transfer content to it. Vista Sideshow is fundamentally a PDA "linked" to your main computer; eg there are notebooks available with a sideshow screen in the lid which allow you (for example) to access your Outlook calendar and contacts without having to switch the main machine on. Very useful indeed.
