Baker & Taylor and Wiley Partner to Offer Rich Digital Media Content on Blio
Distributor Baker & Taylor Inc. has partnered with John Wiley & Sons to provide rich, highly-formatted content on Blio, an e-reader software application created by knfb Reading Technology and powered by Baker & Taylor.

"We are excited to extend our Baker & Taylor partnership beyond physical books to this new and rapidly evolving world of digital media, providing our customers with our must-have titles on this new platform and on the device of their choice."
