I like reading on my iphone. I downloaded 4 free ebooks off the Stanza Library 1) Moby Dick 2) The Creature 3) Pride & Prejudice and 4) The Time Machine and didn't have a single problem. They were all loaded via Edge and took very little time but I also have my iphone hooked up to a power source at work so I think that helps. I love that I could change the font to Arial and make it Dark Green.

Dunno which version you have, but they've added "export to iPhone" in the latest version. Dunno what else - but that part mattered to me.

Just checked the list of top free apps on the App Store:
#66 Stanza #74 eReader If you take a look, something such as the app for Typepad is #63. This means that applications dedicated to e-books on the iPhone are fairly successful so far, and Stanza is leading the pack. |

HAVE experienced what someone said -- the mac application totally wedges itself and will no longer start at all, unless you turn both the above options OFF before you quit it. I imagine that will be fixed in the next version! |

Time.com just featured Stanza as one of the top 11 apps: http://www.time.com/time/specials/pa...823554,00.html It's more 70,000 books than 20,000 books by the way... |

This app has the potential of being the best ebook reader in pdas or smartphones. Right now is superb, and still is their first version. Lexcycle seem a very dynamic company and I'm sure they will improve their software fast. The potential of the iPhone as ebook platform is huge with ebook readers like this one

I think Stanza has great potential, but I don't like how they handle serving their books. Unless I'm missing something, my book has to be currently open on the desktop in order to download it to my iPhone. And it only works locally.
For serving, I prefer Bookshelf, which I know is a paid-for app, because I can leave the server running on my MacPro and download my books while I'm out and about. If Stanza had a better serving solution in place, I think they'd win handily - I think they're a better reader experience. |
