Kes: This is the new ebook reader developed by Ray Kurzweil http://blioreader.com/

Tek Talk offers an early look at Blio, the new touchstone in accessible e-book reading for everyone, Monday, April 5, 2010. This will provide an opportunity to learn more about the exploding world of e-books and the especially exciting e-book reader called Blio just being released by K-NFB Reading Technology.

As publishing of books around the world moves from ink on paper to digital bits and bytes, blind people have mobilized to insist that new products and media being developed must be accessible. Protests about lack of access with the Amazon Kindle have attracted public notice, but now comes Blio, providing a dynamic and accessible presentation of e-books to everyone. Therefore, during this week's Tek Talk event, James Gashel, Vice President of Business Development at K-NFB Reading Technology will demonstrate how Blio works and explain how this technology is about to make millions of books readily available on computers and mobile devices. Tired of waiting for books to be reproduced or transcribed in to accessible formats? Join us and learn how Blio gives blind people equal access in the mainstream world of books, newspapers, and magazines. Following the presentation, there will be plenty of time for questions from the virtual audience.
