It's both. Watch the three minute video on their site that introduces the product and it shows you how what the color screen does. It's pretty clear. You can browse books with the color display, and it's integrated with the eink display to give more information about the title, etc. The color panel browses your library, changes settings, accesses the book store, sets bookmarks and annotations, and access daily newspaper/magazine content.
