Reading View and Slideshow are two different things. If you right click on them, you get significantly different menu options, although there are some common features. Reading View has a title bar and a status bar that contains various buttons. Slideshow is full screen and has some buttons in the bottom left corner. The biggest difference is that Slideshow supports the Presenter View that can be displayed on a second monitor.

I have not done exhaustive testing, but so far it looks like the two views behave the same with respect to screen readers.
