I just tried with a non-DRM ePub and it said 'unknown file format, encrypted with proprietary DRM', which is inaccurate. However, another ePub did work, and a PDF I tried also worked.
I think it may be the particulars of the ePub in question (ironically entitled 'ePub Best Practices Guide'), it has some SVG graphics embedded. Maybe Stanza doesn't support that correctly? Kobo ignores the graphics, which is bad (like everything else about KoboReader), but iBooks and Bluefire Reader do okay.
BTW why isn't iBooks among the apps that offer to open an ePub I download from the web? It might fail to open (DRM...) but it should be a choice.
