Libresco was founded by Peter Blanchard, described by the BBC's Andrew Marr as an "expatriate Scouse engineer and management consultant now throwing himself into the ebook revolution from the unlikely setting of a Welsh hilltop. "

Since having the idea of a device which could hold travel guides, holiday reading and English newspapers whilst on holiday with his wife in Rome 2 years ago, Peter has worked closely with Dutch company Irex Technologies BV to develop the iLiad Reader and bring it to consumers in the UK and Eire.

Libresco is focussed both on supplying the iLiad Reader, and in providing a source of content both paid for and free, for anyone with an e-reading device of any kind. Libresco is developing links with national and international newspapers, magazines and publishers and the Gutenberg Project.

Libresco Limited was set up in 2006 and is the official UK supplier and distributor for the Irex Iliad Reader. They are in the vanguard of the technological e-reading revolution and are keen to promote and facilitate the development of e-publishing.

Peter Blanchard is a regular contributor to conferences and seminars. For interview or to arrange speaking opportunities please contact Peter.Blanchard@iliadreader.co.uk
