    Tek Talk Offers an introduction to Blio, the new touchstone in 
accessible e-book reading for everyone, Monday, March 21, 2011

The Accessible World News Wire, Indianapolis, Indiana USA

Tek Talk Provides an opportunity to learn more about the exploding world of 
e-books and the especially exciting e-book reader called Blio recently 
released by K-NFB Reading Technology Monday, March 21, 2011

As publishing of books around the world moves from ink on paper to digital 
bits and bytes, the opportunity is at hand for all books to become 
automatically and readily accessible to the blind as well.  Several new 
systems designed to make books available on computers have been released and 
more are coming, but Blio stands out among them as 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 making millions of books readily available on computers 
right now and mobile devices soon to come.  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. 
Access to newspapers and magazines will also evolve as Blio expands in use 
throughout the world of printed media.  Following the presentation, there 
will be plenty of time for questions from the virtual audience.
