Kyteflyer, have you tried bluefire?
Yes, I have. Its OK (but nowhere close to Stanza), and there are Stanza-esque features which I really *really* would like to see in it. I've posted in the appropriate thread, already.

I've also tried: megareader, Tomes (had that from yonks ago), uBooks (free version), shubook, demitasse, readMe (which is close but not close enough, and the developers dont answer email), i2reader (crap, IMO, and not worth the $6AUD I paid for it), Kobo (MUCH better since the recent update), Kindle (rubbish unless you want to belong to the Ama-verse), Tookbooks... the list goes on. None are Stanza, none approach Stanza and I'm hopeful that the update promised was not just a way of getting us to shut up.

The biggest problem for me right now is that, being unable to settle on a particular reader, I am not doing any reading. I'm spending all my time trying to find the perfect one, and really, if its not Stanza or better, its not going to suit me. I *could* end up downgrading my iphone... again... or just switching to iBooks, which I can at least use with calibre.
