Well, I dodged the "PEBKAC or PICNIC error" on the Stanza download front (*they* had messed it up, not me).

But, as to Steve's site, I'm a words person, not a visual/icon person, so it was a PICNIC issue! :-)

I read the captions under each icon and didn't see ePub or Stanza listed! "Digital Editions" didn't mean anything to me and my brain never even processed the icons, including the one with the ePub in it! I even downloaded the eReader and RTF versions, figuring I could read them in eReader or iSilo on the iPod Touch, without ever focusing on the icons themselves.

So, that's one for the cognitive scientists! :-)

Thanks, all, for the follow up. Looking forward to the read!
