[Athen] BLIO - free e-reader software

[Roll,Marla]

Hello all,

Our library is moving toward the idea of E Books at students requests.  They are not happy with any of the common e book readers on the market due to their tendency to be proprietary in nature.  They are very intrigued, as is our AT Center, in a new product called Blio.  Ray Kurzweil is the brains behind the product which makes it even more intriguing to  my office.

If any of you know about it or can give/ share thoughts, I would very much like to hear from you.  On the surface, it looks very promising but I need and want to know more about it.


Thanks for any help or thoughts you can share....

Marla Roll
