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.

Re: Fourth Edition Player's Guide Errata and FAQ
[quote="Baravakar"]It is much simpler to make each of these Sustained Actions. Since Book Memory is not sustained action, what action must the adept use each round to use the talent?
Read & Write Language, of course.
Read & Write Language, of course.

Re: Fourth Edition Player's Guide Errata and FAQ
Based on how the new edition is set up: the skill version of Read/Write language is literacy in a language that you have purchased, the same as the Speak Language skill. The talents are used to allow you to try and Read/Write or Speak in languages that you don't know.

Missile weapons table (p. 434) it lists "Windling Bows" (in the plural, whereas all others are listed in the singular-- Troll Sling, Shortbow, etc).
