Blio is in the market -free

I'm off to download it now, I'll update with any thoughts, if I have any...
update:
It seems big (12 meg download). It takes a while to load initially.
After using it a little - it's black/white or white/black, no other color options appear to be available. 5 choices for font size.
It does allow importing of books. I imported a couple of epubs from feedbooks, they seem to work well. The covers showed up(!)
I also imported a DRMed book (from Barnes and Noble) and got an error, "Cannot open book".
Purchases appear to only be supported for United States, Mexico and Canada.
They do offer a choice of a free 'premium' book but when I went to the site, it appears that they aren't really free? I didn't continue because I didn't want to accidentally buy something. There was a section to enter a promo code but no code was given to me.
You can have multiple bookmarks per book, with a title you enter [default is chapter name or book title, and percentage read].
There is a 'go to page' function, but it seems to be restricted to the current chapter/section (i.e., in Makers [Cory Doctorow] when I open the 'Go to page' in the section about the author, I can only go to pages 1-4)
I don't see anything wrong with it, but, I don't see anything that makes it a strong recommendation, either.
