[Athen] K-NFB ereader

[Shelley Haven]

I believe the ultimate goal is that the software be platform- 
independent -- something that will run on Macs, PCs, various mobile  
devices, netbooks and tablets, etc.  Here's a quote from Publisher's  
Weekly, followed by a link to the article:

Kurzweil explained that the K-NFB e-reader software will run on  
laptops and desktop computers (PCs and Macs) as well as netbooks and  
mobile phones—Windows mobile and the iPhone right away with other  
mobile phone operating sytems added as quickly as possible. The  
software can read any format from straight text to PDF and ePub.
