iBooks irritates me for two reasons. Its absolutely ridiculous waste of screen real estate on the iPhone (WHY do we need huge margins and book name and page numbers always displayed on a small screen?!) and lack of in app rotation lock. The latter is only a mild irritation but the former is a deal breaker. Pity, 'cos its fine on the iPad and page syncing is nice.

So, since we're likely never to see Stanza updated for the 5's taller screen, I'm giving Megareader a go. It's not bad, only thing notably lacking is a dictionary, ability to change how paragraphs are displayed and the rotation lock doesn't currently work on the 5.
