Would you mind sharing your tedious process for getting booked into the Kindle app on iPad? Ive been trying to figure that out since last night.

Pros: Amazon's large selections of ebook
I like sephia theme
Dictionary integration is better IMO than iPad and Stanza
Doesn't butcher formatting of the ebook

Cons: Since it's not officially supported, adding my own books to Kindle is a pretty tedious process, doubt it if it will support file-sharing via iTunes

Stanza
Pros: Most customizable app out there.
A lof of source to download directly for ebooks, free and paid.
Cover flow view is nice.

Cons: Butcher ebook formatting. In some instance, it's no big deal. But I have the experience when the main body text should be centered, but Stanza insisted it to be left justified.

iBooks
Pros: Pretty (I think that's it)
Cons: Slow (maybe it's because my iTouch is getting older and can't handle iOS 4 + jailbreak)
Wide left and right margin: Really a big deal because it wasted precious screen available to an already small screen.
Can't hyphenate



I think you're doing it wrong. Because I can drag and drop epub directly via iTunes to Stanza.
