I tried Bluefire and it's a very good reader with potential. Thanks to Micah for posting here and trying to fill the void.

I think if I had to choose two features it's missing that I wish it had most it would be these two in this order:

1) The ability to sort by the tags already in the epub -- ie, Biographies, Fiction etc. I really miss this feature that Stanza had.

2) An easier way to import epubs into the reader, either through directly connecting with Calibre or with a user OPDS library.

If Bluefire had just these two things, I would be a happy camper.

RIP Stanza.
Thanks for the input. Because we use RMSDK as our EPUB parser, doing #1 is harder than one might think, but I'll look into that. There's a couple ways to skin #2 and we are considering which way to go there.
