From my point of view, the trouble with Stanza is how inept it is at annotations, and that its dictionary lookup function has been dead for a couple of iOS versions now. If I wasn't annotating books or looking up words as I read, Stanza might indeed still be perfectly sufficient. That said, I hear it's been withdrawn from the App Store and can no longer be downloaded. For a dead app, though, Stanza is holding up ridiculously well (the supreme irony being iOS 7 inadvertently fixing some of Stanza's iOS 6 bugs), which must be embarrassing for its former competitors who are still around. Stanza got eaten alive by its bad stepmother Amazon, and only its child & heir apparent Marvin managed to escape.
