Exclamation Stanza in iOS5... dead... - And it's back!

UPDATE: Amazon released an update for IOS5 that fixes the crash in iOS5. (But breaks stanza for iOS4, so don't update unless you plan to upgrade as well)
See further in the thread for details.

Quote:
Stanza 3.2 is working fine on iOS >= 5.0 but not on earlier versions.
Stanza 3.1 is working fine on iOS < 5.0 but not on later versions.

For iPod Touch 4th generation, iPhone 3GS upwards, iPad and iPad2 there's no reason not to update to iOS >= 5.0 (other than superstition).
Also, join the Facebook group "Revive Stanza for iOS 5":

This was the original post:

The common word on the internet seems to be that Stanza does not work in the new iOS5.
And the developer who would be able to continue and improve on it, has found a new job and hasn't done any changes to the software in a year or more.

Basically, Stanza is dead.
If you upgrade your mobile to iOS5, you will need a replacement for Stanza.

Bluefire might be an option.
MegaReader has been mentioned later in this thread.
uReader has been mentioned further in the thread as well.
All three don't come close to Stanza, or have a variety of bugs, or can't talk to calibre properly.

Perhaps someone has done some research on other alternatives, or has a way to contact the authors of said apps?
