About Blio eBooks

Don’t just read books. Experience them.

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.

Top Features:

• Blio features a vast bookstore, including the best Children's books, popular new releases and New York Times Best Sellers
• Displays books in full color, with fonts, pictures, and layout as the publisher intended.
• Sync up to five devices so your books can go wherever you go.
• Access all of your content, and download it to your device from anywhere you have an internet connection.
• Multiple reading views, including fixed layout view, single page, dual page, and flowed view.
• Have Blio read to you, highlighting each word as it does.**

** for audiobooks, or rights-enabled books when TTS voice is purchased.

***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.***

Thank you for fixing the search on marshmallow. It's fast and very responsive.

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!

T70%

Hard. You have to check out the book from the internet then go to the app. Such a hassle!!

D70%
by D####:

It's so difficult to read when the app skips forward three pages, or turns to the same page you just read. Selecting a word no longer does anything but vibrate, so no dictionary for me.

Y70%
by Y####:

When Blio worked, it was an OK reader. Not great--for example, you can't sync page location between devices--but perfectly OK. But with Lollipop upgrade, I just can't read books anymore. Others have the same problem and apparently it's been known for months: when you turn a page, you'll be on the same page or two pages ahead or a blank page and nothing works to clear it. Which is unfortunate and disappointing when I've waited weeks for a library book.

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.

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.

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!!

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!

Y70%
by Y####:

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.

U70%

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.

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.

When trying to search for a word within a book the app crashes. Please fix and I'll give it a five star. New ver. still has this issue.

Y70%

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

Y70%
by Y####:

They fixed it! It used to bookmark only the chapter, now it went back (due to complaints maybe?) to bookmarking the exact page. Happy again :)

G70%
by G####:

Used to work perfectly...now, Every time I open a book, it begins at the first page, no matter where my bookmark was! Can't skip ahead to the right page, as it just takes me back to page 1...Have tried different books with no success, even tried un-installing the app and downloading it again with no luck. Too bad this is the only way to read the library e-books...

Y70%
by Y####:

Blio is like a middle-schooler's project! Downloads and bookmarks are lost when you turn your tablet off. It also ignores system settings. I've never given a one-star review...but Blio deserves it!

Y70%
by Y####:

Formatting is not consistent from book to book. In one book, regardless of font size, nearly every first line and last line of each page is cut in half. A second book was in comics format and worked well enough, but have to swipe completely from right to left or it turns one page back. The bookmark of another book is never where I placed it. Would prefer to use Overdrive if the book is available there.

Y70%
by Y####:

Back to the bad app it is. Refuses to stay logged in, bookmarks disappear, etc. Quite embarrassing to be honest.

First if you don't have a Johnson County Library account I would get one then you can go straight to their magic wall and login to your Johnson County account and Blio ebooks account when you've done that type in the title of a book you want to read then tap the book you want make sure just use bio format then you might have to log back into your Blio and ebooks account if it works then it'll say congratulations then go to your Blio ebooks app and find your book in the library and start reading!!!!!!!!!

It did not work stupid

Y70%
by Y####:

I can't get through more than 3 pages at a time without turning the page and looking at the page I just read. Try turning the page again and it goes back a couple more pages or skips pages.. Going back a few pages and then back to the page you should be on works sometimes but I can't enjoy the book when I have to do this every few pages. I thought maybe it was just the specific book but it does it on my others too.

Q70%
by Q####:

Unfortunately I read two pages, then pages repeat, then skip back before moving forwards again. Soooooo disappointing.

Y70%
by Y####:

The app used to work really well, but now when I open it, I'm stuck on the title screen and cannot access my books. Also, I do not like how the app does not save what page you are on when you switch to read on a different device. it would be nice not to have to find what page you were on when you switch from reading on tablet to phone.

Y70%
by Y####:

Two major problems. One, app doesn't sync between devices. Two, pages are frequently out of order. You have to flip ahead a few pages, then go back to get them in order.
