VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 28, 2014) - Brisio Innovations Inc. (CSE:BZI)(PINKSHEETS:NTCEF) (the "Company"), is pleased to announce its subsidiary OakBranch Media Inc. (Good e-Reader) has partnered with ICARUS, a Netherlands based e-reader company to bring a brand new curated Android App Store to the recently launched Illumina series e-reader.
The Illumina is the world's first e-reader with the Google Android 4.2 operating system which enables users to install their own apps. This leading edge e-reader has been very well received, with both the press and digital readers alike praising the 'open' Android OS and the ability to install reading apps and games.
Good e-Reader has been chronicling the electronic reader space since 2008 and has become one of the most influential news sites on the internet. Their Android App Store has over 35,000 e-reading, comic, newspaper, magazine and eBook apps in their catalog.
Roberto Damen (CEO, ICARUS): "We are very proud to announce this cooperation with Good e-Reader. By integrating their App Store in our e-readers, we can offer our users easy to use access to all relevant Android apps. And thanks to the curated section of apps that are optimized for our device, the end-user can be sure that the apps they download offer them a great user experience."
Michael Kozlowski (CEO, Good e-Reader): "We are very excited to bring Icarus users the ability to define their own e-reader experience. It is critically important that people are not locked into a specific ecosystem, but have true freedom to choose their own destiny. In order to facilitate a great experience we have created a brand new "Apps for e-ink" section to our store, which have all been optimized for current generation Icarus e-readers.
A customized version of the Good e-Reader appstore has been developed for the e-Reader market and has been optimized to shine on the growing number of e-Readers that currently (or will) use the Android 4.2 operating system. This opens a tremendous market for Good e-Reader, and it is important to note that Icarus has also chosen to bundle the Good e-Reader App Store without white-labeling which provides excellent exposure for our App Store internationally. We are actively pursuing additional OEM relationships and intend on making Good e-Reader the App Store of choice for Android enabled device manufacturers in the future."
All ICARUS Illumina e-Readers produced as of September 2014, will come with the Good e-Reader App Store pre-installed. Owners of devices produced before September can download the installation file from the ICARUS website (in the downloads section) and install the app themselves.
More information on the ICARUS Illumina HD (E653BK, E653RD, E653WE) can be found on the website www.icarusreader.com and via retail partners.
