In the meantime I am back to bemoaning the lack of Stanza on my device. I've just discovered what others have known all along... how much I depend on sorting and grouping. Stanza has groups according to author in alphabetical groups, or subject, as well as by title alphabetically. Bluefire and Megareader just list alphabetically or by author in a single long list. On Android, Mantano does the same thing, so does fbreader (so no, I wont be paying for yet another app which is not organised the Stanza way)
Stanza also has that handydandy alphabet down the side so you can jump to the letter you want.
There are so many little niceties that Stanza employs, that I am getting more frustrated than ever.
[edit] Had a response to my last email. In short what they said was that even though Amazon owns Stanza/lexcycle (at least they arent denying it anymore) that it (Stanza etc) operates as a separate entity, and they suggested I write to
info@lexcycle.com, which I have just done. Clearly, Amazon is not prepared to get involved directly.
Following is the text of my email to info@lexcycle

Hello,
Since amazon customer service refuses to answer any questions about Stanza and its future, and keeps redirecting enquiries to this address, and to the lexcycle website, I'm throwing myself on your mercy.
Please, can you give any indication of whether Stanza will be updated for iOS5. Currently its completely broken, throwing errors of different kinds depending on what you try to do. Suffice to say, the app does not work and is unusable. I and many others have been forced to use other apps which simply do not do the job that Stanza has done, so well, for so many years.
Please.. update soon?
