Meanwhile, we know this year we’ll be adding our new client Copia (with six devices and a platform that works on just about everything else except Kindle), B&T’s Blio, the iStore and Apple iPad, the Google Editions program, and a host of other new devices as well as expected next generation readers (with color, perhaps) from Kindle and Nook. Those new ebook platforms will keep the title increase going because they include an ability to deliver a more robust presentation on a larger screen.

I’ve seen Blio and it is very impressive. Copia is also an impressive platform and you can see the report of my meeting with them at TOC here. Their series of ereaders will have WiFi and 3G. Google hasn’t gotten a lot of press recently, but they have big plans to enter the consumer ebook space and fully intend to take Apple and Amazon on. Add to this new displays from PVI, Liquavista, Pixel Qi and others. Fun times ahead!
