Description
Don’t just read books. Experience them.Blio doesn't just put pages on a screen, it offers new possibilities.
In Blio
a textbook becomes a classroom…
a cookbook becomes a kitchen…
and a fairytale, a place where dreams really do come true.
Because Blio is so much more than words.
We are an experience.
Bringing books to life is about more than just recreating the words on the page. That’s why we developed Blio.
Blio is smart enough to know that books are more than just words: there’s style, presentation, and a world of color. And smart enough to know all of that enhances your reading experience. That’s what you love about books. So books in Blio have the same layout, fonts, and full-color images that you enjoy in the print version of your favorite titles. Finally there’s an eBook reader that brings not only novels to life, but cookbooks, travel guides, how-to manuals, textbooks, and children’s books to life in vibrant color.
But eBooks should do more: they should leverage everything that the device you’re reading on is capable of. Blio does just that, with many books having read aloud by a text-to-speech voice (purchase required) or by an audiobook track, with words highlighted as they are spoken. You can look up words you might not be familiar with or get more information on a topic by searching Google, Wikipedia, and more without ever leaving your book. And Blio has a virtual library that you can view from anywhere, so you can access and read your books on any of your devices.
Try a whole new eBook experience with Blio, where books are more than words.

• Blio features a vast bookstore, including the best Children's books, popular new releases and New York Times Best Sellers
• Displays books in full color, with fonts, pictures, and layout as the publisher intended.

***Customizations by Android device manufacturers cause certain devices, mainly phones, to render EPUBs incorrectly causing undesirable behavior in text selection, page navigation, and text-to-speech. An error message will appear briefly in the Reading View for devices that fall in this category. Thank you for your understanding.***

Locks up Acer Iconia A501 - I enjoy reading with this reader, but I don't enjoy having to restart the whole tablet just to read a second time during that same tablet power up period. I read, put it down for 30 minutes and it locks up on the loading screen (load circle), forcing a restart. Fix that and your in there.

you will never see a dime of my money any company that blocks text to speech services for the blind and disabled, services that are already available on android for free and then has the nerve to make them pay for a proprietary version that sucks is a company that is mean spirited. you are free to do business however you like but that does not mean that I have to support you. No thank you. what you are doing is cold hearted. don't you make enough money on overpriced ebooks already?
