Blio is derived from a Microsoft format (XPS) which has been ratified into a proper international standard overseen by ECMA.

Their PC app has so far been very Sony-like (Grandiose promises, modest delivery) but they continue to work at it, they continue to sign up big name supporters, and they're not short of resources.

It might realistically be more of a 2014/15 product but if it arrives by 2013 they may be a player. If ePub forking keeps splintering that market, Blio might just be in place to pick up the pieces when the dust settles.
