Description
Blio doesn't just put pages on a screen, it offers new possibilities.
In Blio
a textbook becomes a classroom…
a cookbook becomes a kitchen…
and a fairytale, a place where dreams really do come true.
Because Blio is so much more than words.
We are an experience.
Bringing books to life is about more than just recreating the words on the page. That’s why we developed Blio.
Blio is smart enough to know that books are more than just words: there’s style, presentation, and a world of color. And smart enough to know all of that enhances your reading experience. That’s what you love about books. So books in Blio have the same layout, fonts, and full-color images that you enjoy in the print version of your favorite titles. Finally there’s an eBook reader that brings not only novels to life, but cookbooks, travel guides, how-to manuals, textbooks, and children’s books to life in vibrant color.
But eBooks should do more: they should leverage everything that the device you’re reading on is capable of. Blio does just that, with many books having read aloud by a text-to-speech voice (purchase required) or by an audiobook track, with words highlighted as they are spoken. You can look up words you might not be familiar with or get more information on a topic by searching Google, Wikipedia, and more without ever leaving your book. And Blio has a virtual library that you can view from anywhere, so you can access and read your books on any of your devices.
Try a whole new eBook experience with Blio, where books are more than words.

***Customizations by Android device manufacturers cause certain devices, mainly phones, to render EPUBs incorrectly causing undesirable behavior in text selection, page navigation, and text-to-speech. An error message will appear briefly in the Reading View for devices that fall in this category. Thank you for your understanding.***
***At this time, we do not support 3rd party DRM protected content.***

3 ★ I am unable to access the grid view on my phone. It was there before now it's gone. I've completely lost the look of a bookshelf.
5 ★ Thank you for fixing the search on marshmallow. It's fast and very responsive.
5 ★ Awesome
1 ★ Used to be a great app. Worked perfectly. Now downloads are slow, books won't open after purchased, book pages are out of sequence...please tell me, what's the point of purchasing a book if YOU CAN'T READ IT??? I'm so over this app now...and it used to be my favorite.
2 ★ I have been using this app for months. It has always had trouble with repeating pages but it was something I could fix by scrolling past and then back. Now all of a sudden the books are missing a lot of pages and is pretty unreadable. I wish you would fix this. I am very disappointed. I loved being able to check out books from my library and read them on my phone. Please fix this and make the formatting fixed.
2 ★ Just installed this app and downloaded one book and its skipping 2-3 pages everytime it should only turn 1 page! This is very disappointing. If youre reading a book you should be able to read every page!
1 ★ This used to be a good app, now all of a sudden, book content is missing, it is only displaying one screen of a chapter. Unacceptable. Please fix!
1 ★ App worked properly last Fall, however it is useless now. Cannot read past page 1 of a chapter because the app skips pages. App was used for reading ebooks from local library.
1 ★ Flowable text does not reflow so you can't get all the content in the eBook. This is unacceptable. Additionally, the interface is slow and awkward compared to other eBook readers that I'm using.
1 ★ When trying to read, it starts at the beginning of the book, but skips around all over the place...different chapters, different characters, etc. Please fix!!
1 ★ Pages are skipped and slow to respond
4 ★ it work awesome but sometimes slow
1 ★ Hard. You have to check out the book from the internet then go to the app. Such a hassle!!
1 ★ Poor interface, not very user friendly. Slow to respond. Does not format correctly, cuts off half of the to and born sentences and skips several lines between some pages. Yuck.
3 ★ When it uses voice to read my books, it always reads the 3rd to the last page over and over until the chapter is finished. Please fix
