Wrapping up this Blio review
Over all the software seems to be pretty stable, responsive, easy to navigate, really nice and clean user interface, and feature rich. The installation was not hard to follow and it took less than 5 mins to get everything setup. The only down side I have found is that it does not have support for PDF file format, and if you are like me, you have many of eBooks in PDF, and last Blio software it is a little bit CPU and memory hungry. Blio eReader wants to change in a whole new level the way we consume printed out and digital books today. K-NFB Reading Technology — creators of this software — through Blio is promising to revolutionize the digital reading experience with full-color, interactive and immersive content. Not only we are going to have a great experience, but Blio will also make it possible to access all our content from any internet connected device that works with Blio. You can also download the ebooks and read them when internet isn’t available. If you lose your device you can restore all your content from your online library. Now, fully enjoy the subtlety of design originally intended by the publisher. Source Blio Remember leave a comment on what you think about Blio eReader software. Thanks!
