Since you have seen the readers in real life I have a quick question for you though. Were the readers out on display plugged in with a USB cable for power? I'm just curious, since if they were it would mean that you can still use them while charging them. I guess that's the case, but it would be nice to get some confirmation.

Yes, they were plugged in, and cabled to prevent theft
When the reader was put into sleep mode in the store, there was a text box at the top instructing that it was in sleep mode and to slide the power switch in order to turn it on. That warning is what made me think it was custom, unless that's just a part of the pretty picture.
