The Holy Grail?

An associate passed on this link to me, a press release dated Friday Feb.
14th.

I wonder out loud: Will it be cross platform compatible (ie: PC, Mac, Linux,
etc.)? Shows promise, but I suspect it will always be a band-aid solution.
I wonder too if the software app will impart the structural logic required
to navigate a long document properly - even PDFs can have "bookmarks" (named
anchors) in them; will this functionality be carried through? I would be
curious to see the application in play - how does it work with other
adaptive technologies (ie, can it peacefully co-exist with other screen
reading apps like Jaws?) Also, how does it deal with images, charts and
graphs, etc. in PDFs? What will the business model be - a free plug-in or a
purchase add-on/software app.? (Affordability is an accessibility issue
too) Many, many questions...
