All I can say is WOW! Those two samples look awful. One looks like eReader and the other looks worse. It's like someone doesn't know how to make decent looking eBooks.

But that said, when using iBooks, Georgia is the best available font to use for the body text. That was a good move on Apple to allow the use of Georgia without the hack. Can Stanza use Georgia as a body font? Sans-serif fonts are not a good idea for a body font for a book.
