One noteworthy thing about Stanza -- it made Fictionwise available. Now that Fictionwise is owned by Amazon's biggest pbook competitor, Barnes & Noble, how long will Fictionwise be accessible via Stanza? My bet is not long "for technical reasons."

Will this now give a big incentive to B&N to move more rapidly into ebooks? If it does, will B&N be able to beat Amazon at its own game? Will B&N decide to be more open platform and adopt ePub, which could open a worldwide market. Lots of questions; no answers.
