Attached: Some photos of the B&N Reader in action (as best as my photography skills, and a poor digital camera, can manage).
The first shot shows the library screen that opens up first.
Next is the reading screen, with page controls superimposed above, and menu items below. These appear when you first open a book, disappear after about 5 seconds, and come back with a finger-swipe or a tap (depending on how you set the controls).
The reading screen, without the page and menu controls. You tap the screen to advance or reverse the pages.
