You've got to be kidding?! Stanza is a PITA in regards of layout control, at least if you create eBooks.

I don't how many stunts and tweaks I had to pull to get my files on Stanza right while they were looking fine on any other device.
Nope, what other app others the same level of customisation for the user? iBooks doesn't even offer any sort of margin control. Stanza allows control over margin size, line spacing, paragraph spacing and paragraph indent. iBooks offers 2 colour schemes, normal and sepia. Stanza offers around 140 choices of foreground and background colour independently. iBooks offers 6 choices of font, Stanza about 45.
I'm not particularly interested in how the creator of the book wanted it to be laid out, I'm interested in how I want it to be laid out. Stanza allows me to override the formatting in the file and make my own choices, as a reader that is a good thing.
