I just installed in on my wife's Zune HD so I could have a look. I downloaded a book from feedbooks. I don't know what format it pulled down. You cannot touch the side of the display to page forward or back, only scroll up or down. Scrolling is variable by lines, not pages, so it takes up too much attention to flick up the right amount. You can touch back to the TOC, of course. You can scroll through the whole book.

The About screen only says Reader, v.1.0, build 0.0.0.9, copyright Microsoft.

The italic style/font has horrible inter-character and inter-word spacing. It must be that no one even looked at it. Maybe it is a Zune system font, but I never noticed the problem before.
