Thanks to Sischa's post in the Stanza thread

I used to read on stanza and bookshelf but with the latest update of the bookshelf app (epub and mobi support now works on 100% of my books, dropbox support and iPad update) i was able to give stanza the kick. So maybe you should just jump to bookshelf too and leave stanza behind.

bookshelf was 3.99 $ i think or around that ...

I have learnt of Bookshelf which I have not seen mentioned before in the ebook reader debate. I have downloaded it and it runs fine on my iphone but I wonder if others already with Ipads have tried it. At least it appears to have a developer working on it and I feel if the ipad version continues to develope could be a good reader, Admittedly its not free but one gets a developing application and a concerned person for that, unlike the Amazons that can kill a Stanza.

This is particularly useful for us outside of the USA who do not know if and when Ibooks may be available and need an alternative to read existing nonDRM Epubs.
