Hi,

Read does not have any icon in the frame, as it is currently a
viewer-only activity, cannot create content.

You can launch Read by opening a pdf file in the journal. You have two
ways of adding a pdf to the journal, one is by downloading a pdf file
with Browse, and the other is by inserting a usb stick with a pdf on it,
you can then copy the pdf to the main flash by drag'n'drop if you wish.
