Yep, Stanza, and some other programs are quite handy for reading and/or converting DRM free ebooks into other formats. Admittedly I am currently using eReader.. and I have used Stanza to convert books from Baen's free library into eReader format and then read them on my iPod Touch (Since I haven't gotten around to enabling the sharing port on my wireless router so I can use stanza on the iPod Touch.)
Actually with all the books out there without DRM, both free and for sale, I am tempted to just avoid DRM'd books all together. The best way to get rid of the inconveniences of DRM is to get rid of DRM
. The best way to do that is to vote with our dollars. I personally think one should be able to convert any ebook that one has legally obtained into any format that one finds convenient. DRM hinders that because it usually ties your book to a specific program or a specific reader. We, not the publisher should be able to determine how we are going to read our ebooks.
