[nabs-l] Using Blio

[J.J. Meddaugh]

James, I'm glad to see Blio making some great progress. I know it seems to 
work reasonably well with other screen readers currently and this is also 
good to see. I don't think having too many choices for accessible books is a 
problem either, especially considering the options just a year ago.
Looking forward to the future, and perhaps an Android app.
