Stanza works better... and heck it is free... and you can get all the same books that other place is selling "app books" as for free too.

I am not sure how much better it works. The first thing Stanza does when importing a file is to strip all the formatting, bolding, italics, and the like from the input file and then formats it for ePUB. This would seem to lose significant information IMHO.
