I'm interested in what is more simple about your interface. I love Stanza's interface. Just a question as, unfortunately, there is no "try before you buy" on the app store. I do think the speed reading features sound interesting. I think I'd have led off touting those Lee |

148apps.com The Digital Reader The latter review has an embedded You Tube video so you can get a sense of the look and feel of the product. Interface seems very attractive to me. When you are "reading a book" -- I didn't see anything special. The first review affirms my own concerns. The 1.8 million books can be had by pretty much all of the existing and numerous free reading apps. What I didn't know -- is that you have no option to buy from Fictionwise or any of the other commercial book sources. Not good. And yes, it has a speed reading function of some sort. I guess you'd have to decide you are actually paying for that feature as everything else has been done by everyone else -- and for free. Lee |

Hi Lee,
I guess it just comes down to preference. You're a fan of Stanza. For other people MegaReader suits them better. Some people are willing to pay a small amount for that choice, others aren't. So be it. If I had to wear Nike running shoes, just because Bill Bowerman was the first to put rubber in his wife's waffle iron, I'd be a very unhappy runner. Nikes are fine shoes, but Asics fit me better. Stanza is a fine reader, but some people prefer MegaReader. Competition in the marketplace makes for a better choice of products. -Patrick |
