That screen means the nook is in USB mode and is functioning as a USB drive.

If you want to read your nook while it's plugged into the computer (generally to just charge the battery from your computer rather than the wall), right-click on the nook USB drive icon on the computer to eject the nook as a USB device but don't unplug the nook. That will take your nook out of USB mode. It will continue to do a battery charge (from your laptop), but you can use it (on a tether the length of your charging cord, but still this can be useful if you're almost out of charge and want to read something near your laptop but not near the wall.)
