The one thing I really don't like about stanza is the way it loads each chapter as you go and hence does not give you a total number of pages. That really bugs me, as I like to know roughly how big a book is when I start reading.
I love the way ibooks tells you the total number of pages and also how many pages till the end of the chapter.
Stanza dictionary support is also really weak. that said, Stanza certainly is the best ereader on the iphone right now.

Does iBooks have hyphenation support? The justified Pooh sample in the videos I've seen so far looked like...well Pooh. I don't use an iPhone, but I've read that Stanza is capable of hyphenation, which would go a long way to overcome the eyesore that is crappy justification.
