Comments on: Future of eReading might not be iPad, but Blio http://www.eschoolnews.com/2010/01/31/blio-free-ereader-makes-impression/ Just another eSchool Media site Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:48:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: rspellman844 http://www.eschoolnews.com/2010/01/31/blio-free-ereader-makes-impression/comment-page-1/#comment-198 rspellman844 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 06:09:24 +0000 http://www.eschoolnews.com/?p=30204#comment-198 We need publishers to be on board and people to be honest. The publishers need to be paid for their books which has always been an issue with electronic media. HOWEVER, there is another issue that publishers do not talk about, shipping cost are 200% to 300% over actual cost and are the single largest income they really have. It is not shared with the author(s) and most companies will go down screaming before they loose this revenue. The other area is honesty, we need to pay for our books. Everytime we cheat we make it harder for a publisher to back electronic media. I support placing a chapter or other information on line to promote purchase but if we just take other people's work we can expact not to have any work to take.

Obviously, there is already a Blio app for the iPhone, so there is one for the iPad right there. Why pitch one against the other when they work together? The combination might well be fabulous!
