Presumably, it turns off, so it doesn't distract from reading the real screen, and to conserve power.

Really..., what's with all the lame new products? Just give us a single large screen, that does PDFs well. And yeah, color would be nice. But, on that same single, large screen.
I'll hold off on criticizing it for the color, touchscreen LCD till I actually see how they are using it as part of the reader. There is potential to do some neat stuff with it, but if it just a place to see book covers, then it would be pretty useless.

From the pics so far, it seems like it will act as a touch sensitive keyboard at the very least.
