Toshiba Opening eBook Store no comments
Toshiba is opening an ebook store called Book Place which will be powered by Blio. The site says that the store will be open for business in a “few weeks.” We are told that the Blio ereading ware will become generally available over the next couple of months.
Besides bestsellers, Toshiba promises cookbooks, travel guides, children’s books, textbooks and more. Blio should work very well for richly illustrated books; and 3D content and some multimedia enhancements will be supported as well.
Book Place comes preloaded on new Toshiba laptops and a few free sample ebooks should be included:
