Here you have it! A first look at Blio, an eBook reader app that is destined to be used on tablets such as Apple's rumored iSlate.
Blio is the creation of inventor and futurist Raymond Kurzweil. You might be familiar with his name if you've used speech recognition software, or if you've read one of his many books on the topic of transhumanism (a meaty subject, but well worth looking into if you're a nerd like me).
The app itself looks very sharp indeed and will apparently be released on both the iPhone and PC. With colour e-ink still not on the market, a swish and shiny app like this could definitely gain traction. The Kindle and Nook are great, but don't quite make the grade for kids' stories or educational/instructional books with diagrams and pretty pictures.
We'll be sure to bring you more info on Blio after it debuts at next week's CES!
