Hi,

If you use simple replication (master-site and snapshots) on the snapshot-site there are no tables as they are
at the master site and they may not be there before setting up replication. The data is the the snapshot and you get
a view named like the table on the master site. And yes they are for reading primarily. But if you have the Enterprise-Edition for the master-site you can build updateable snapshots if the query is simple. If you want tables on both sites you need advanced (multi-master) replication with Enterprise-Edition on both sites.

I hope this helps to understand the mechanisms for replication.
