I HAVE since noticed s few issues displaying text on Shubook -this is something that, in my excitement, I had missed. It has not stopped me from using it and my main reader but it is DEFINITELY something that requires work!

Try loading this basic EPUB test file in ShuBook:

(credit goes to whoever posted it first in these MobileRead forums)

When ShuBook displays this test file properly, then we can talk.

I'm still on Stanza on my iPhone, and I'm keeping my iPhone on iOS 5, so that Stanza more or less works properly.

I already know what Stanza's replacement on the iPhone will be, though: Marvin. Check it out here:

I can pretty much guarantee Marvin will knock your socks off. The iPhone version is due to arrive within the next few months.
