Design for the Blio eReader 
Tap Into the Exploding eBook Market: Create Interactive Content for the Blio® eReader, then Sell It through the Blio Online Bookstore
Publishing to the Blio eReader with QuarkXPress® is hands-down the easiest way to create richly designed, interactive eBooks and make them available for your — or your client’s — audience through a worldwide online bookstore, regardless of the device they use. That means you can create compelling interactive eBooks and make them available for broad distribution across any device.
Pre-installed on millions of desktop, laptop, and tablet computers worldwide through Hewlett Packard®, Dell®, Toshiba®, and more — and with support for Windows® and Android® devices — the Blio eReader is the most widely accessible, versatile eReader on the market.
Unlike many other eBook readers, Blio lets you take advantage of all the design control you have in QuarkXPress. Much more than a simple text reader, the Blio eReader can display richly designed publications with interactive multimedia such as slideshows, video, and even content from Web pages and embedded HTML.
When you're ready to publish, submit your book to the Blio bookstore, which is powered by Baker & Taylor™, the world’s largest distributor of physical and digital books. Your customers can buy your books on the device they prefer. They can even easily move between devices (for example, between laptops and smartphones) to read your eBooks, picking up where they left off by using the sync feature built into the Blio eReader.
How it Works
- Design beautiful Blio eBooks, in full color, with complete control over pictures, layout, and typography
- Create engaging interactive behaviors such as slideshows, video, and boxes that display live Web content
- Use the Reflow view to assemble and preview the reflowable text behind your layout — this allows your reader to switch the view in the Bio eReader from Fixed Layout to Text Reflow view, or to Blio's ReadLogic view (which keeps the reader in the rich layout while intelligently zooming the view to simplify reading even on the smallest devices)
- Easily set up Blio-specific controls such as the Table of Contents menu and Info dialog box
- When you’re all done, export your QuarkXPress layout directly into a Blio eBook file
At a glance:
- Export your QuarkXPress layout in full fidelity, including precision typography, runaround, and transparency
- Easily convert existing print files, or work simultaneously for print and Blio in a single file
- Use the Reflow view and Reflow Tagging palette to extract text and pictures from the layout and tag it for reflow output
- Embed or reference any WebKit-compatible HTML content (created separately) to achieve more advanced interactive effects
