Blio eReader: Will it live up to it's promise?
Good news for eReader lovers everywhere.
Ray Kurzweil, famous inventor and technology forecaster, has decided the current eReaders on the market are just not cutting it. They have too many limitations in the text formats they support and the way they handle the original images and layouts in printed texts. So he’s therefore taken it upon himself to come out with a new eReader software to end all eReader software called the Blio.
Sounds like a load of crap you say? Well, just you hold on a minute…
Apparently, Blio will be able to run on ANY device from PCs to cell phones. Kurzweil felt that current eReader software does not display content true to their physical texts, so he’s making sure the Blio will have unprecendented formatting capabilities allowing it to display color images and a variety of different fonts and formats. Therefore, this should prove very useful for things like how-to guides, cookbooks, travel guides and childrens’ books.
Additionally, Walmart is slated to be one of the retailers who will assist in pushing this software out there to consumers. Kurzweil has even mentioned that Walmart are quote, “very exited” about this new venture. In fact, he feels the Blio “shows every potential to be the biggest business [kurzweil] have run.”
Pretty bold statement from the famed inventor, no? If Kurzweil succeeds in delivering on his promise, this could be a game-changer for many devices which currently struggle with correctly formatting text, espcially with PDFs. Yes, we have demanding this same exact thing ever since the first Kindle came out.
But can he succeed where other’s have failed? Time will tell.
I’m definitely excited.
