Talking Ode to my beloved Stanza, alas she is gone


Stanza, my reader, my love and my one...
upgraded to 5 and alas she was gone!

Downloaded MegaReader, to it I go
oh shucks, I say, no brightness control.

So many apps, my what a mess,
Tried Bluefire Reader, oh no, short on OPDS!

IBooks, a laugh! no night mode and more,
And MegaReader? No italics! My what a Bore!

Hum, Kindle syncs across my devices,
but my! her format is not even the nicest!

Kobo, no iTunes, no browser or search,
Leaves my desires in such a big lurch.

Stanza where are you, Oh may I ask?
Amazon, please, rethink your task!

Can't help it. I miss Stanza too much to persist with any other readers. I've downgraded to 4.1 again and will just have to bite the bullet over the apps I can no longer use (fortunately not that many, and I dont use them that often). Just doing my first sync as I type. :-/

Perhaps Hallmark should come out with a sympathy card for Stanza users.....

or carole kings "it's too late"

Quote:
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing
Or maybe we just stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it, too
Still I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
