Stanza 2.0 Released Today!
Just downloaded it-looks nice so far (not sure about the new icon).

The library management seems spruced up, but the ePub rendering seems unchanged (it has problems with some CSS and I have to turn off Styles for some books). They haven't addressed that with this release.

No, they haven't changed book management, only interface look The only interest thing: the pie showing where you're int the book at the library.

Grr...
How many books do you guys have in your library? On my iPhone 3GS w/300+ books (378?), Stanza 2.0 worked fine. On my original iPhone w/400+ books (416?), Stanza 2.0 crashes at the splash screen. Also, it doesn't seem to display how many books you have in total now. |

And yeah, why remove the total book count? That is odd. |

The reason why backups take so slow for people with large libraries is because Stanza explodes every ebook into its component formats. Instead of just 1 ePUB file, you get a minimum of 5 files per ebook: mimetype container.xml content.opf toc.ncx content.html When you consider that a regular ebook contains a lot more files than those (stylesheets, images, usually one html per chapter, etc), well you get the idea.
