Are there any other readers in the AppStore that can connect to the Calibre content server?
I like the BlueFire app, but hate that I can't set up a connection to Calibre. That functionality of Stanza is probably one of my favorites.

I hope I don't come across too much as an i2Reader fan, but having spent a lot of time evaluating other eReaders, it has become my Stanza replacement - even though there are a few niggling issues.
One good feature, is that it has a wide range of ways of getting books, including directly to Calibre's content server - (see attachment for a screenshot). I also use DropBox and am experimenting with Calibre2OPDS.
I can't get this to work properly yet, but at least I can view the catalogue which has the benefit of letting me see the Series information in addition to other details about the eBooks.
UPDATE: Calibre2OPDS kindly set me straight and I am now able to connect to my catalogue in the Sky and download eBooks as desired.
UPDATE I have now given up on i2Reader as they are not answering any emails and Apple refuse to do anything about it (the lack of support), so I am issuing a WARNING to stay away from i2Reader.
By contrast, I have discovered that the developer of MegaReader is actively working on meeting the requests of Stanza fans - see
