Blio Reader available for download, sort of

A. seems to have given me his cold, so I'm not feeling up to experiencing this myself, but I have been reading about the user experiences of those who downloaded Ray Kurzweil's Blio Reader, available as a free download as of today from blio.com .

What the publicity announcement from KNFB doesn't mention is the fine print from the download site, which says that an "accessible" version will be available in October. Good to know that the "NFB" in "KNFB" still means something.

Also, numerous accessibility professionals who have downloaded the program have stated that it has failed to run, but instead merely crashes.

Having had my doese of irony for the day, I'm returning to the paranormal romance I was reading, as it is making more sense to me at the moment.
