The at end of sentence means its a joke...(you can see emoticons in my post right?) - My nick should be Razan_MG not GM, i was typing it fast and it is as it is. So now back to main discussion.
How to write it simple, Book Memory Talent doesnt take any actions except the one to activate it. "Reading/Memorizing" does take Action (its not in rules its My common sense).
Per Telarus,
"If that lets somebody's Swordmaster/Wizard PC duel skeletons in a crumbling library while frantically trying to memorize pages pulled hastily from rotting books, then have fun with it!"
- that means if the GM wants to make such a scene, he can choose to allow it even if rules say something diffrent or are not precise. And you can "memorize" lets say one page, swing a sword then get back to memorizing, jump above fire pit, and so on (the duration of effect lets you do it). So activating the talent is not sustained action because once activated its effect last, the character "memorizing" takes Action but also not Sustained because you can stop it and return to it (as long as effect last).
Some actions dont need Actions, just like looking thru the window, you can do it all day long and not spend a single Action (or at Tracking Talent glowing marks after it is activated, as for skill it is MY interpretation "As for Skill, I would say", because i know how RL tracking works).
Hope that helps.
