jkOnTheRun: Stanza vs. eReader

Alexander Turcic · 02-25-2009, 09:54 AM

Kevin of jkOnTheRun tested two very popular free iPhone apps for reading e-books. One is Stanza, the other is eReader. His first impressions: Stanza looks prettier and pagination works better and quicker. eReader, on the other hand, has more theme options (background and text color).

One important difference is that Stanza supports various e-book formats, including those without DRM, whereas eReader uses exclusively the eReader PDB format (with and without DRM).

I love reading with Stanza. I mostly read free books from Feedbooks on there.

I like Stanza because of O'Reilly's Bookworm site where you can keep your ebooks. Makes downloading to my iTouch a snap.

I just wish that Sony would figure out that maybe an iphone app that would read .lrx would help their ebookstore cause. Seing how I have both a 505 and an ipod touch, that would be wonderful
