It has been months since the Blio e-reading application was first announced, but the wait to download the interactive program is finally over.

Just as previously announced, the Blio eReader app was launched today for Windows-based devices. The app brings with it access to a library filled with over a million paid and free titles. The program supports English, French and Spanish currently, but there is a plan to add support for Italian, German and Asian-language options later.

In case you've forgotten, what makes this digital reading application special are the graphics. Blio is a color and image-filled program that can also include hyperlinks and video clips within content. Maybe this will help e-textbooks (and e-cookbooks, like the one pictured above) more mainstream too.

The Blio application can be downloaded from the Blio eReader site now for free.

    ... hopefully he is not that late, and hopefully he can migrate it from WPF to Silverlight. That way, it will be easier to do WP7 (Windows Phone 7) readers too.
