The problem is that html files don't display in the Stanza/calibre Online Catalog, apparently only epub's do. Converting the RFT to HTML then to EPUB and then loading on the iPhone gives a file that does read properly, but that seems like a strange way to get a readable file.

In any event I hope the issue is strictly academic since I'm going shopping for a sony e-reader this afternoon. I proved that the iPhone experience is "OK" and I've read half dozen books on the iPhone, but I'd really like a bit larger screen. I'll see what the difference between the 5" non touch and 6" touch screens looks like. I know the previous touch screen was less than ideal.
