If you're reading on an iPhone/iPod most of the time and, like me, hesitant to cough up the cash for Marvin, here's some good news. I was dreading the update because I feared it might kill Stanza as has happened in the past.
however, to my utter amazement and great joy, Stanza no longer locks up when accessing these sections in settings, prolonging it's life expectancy for some time to come.
