The left/right margins are way too large. I would like to have them be user definable or at the least a lot smaller.

Stanza is a big FAIL. It's ePub rendering engine is subpar and has a lot of flaws/bugs. Not worth the effort to try to use it. iBooks is a better renderer. So is txtr. B&N is an awful app for the iPad.

Well... I found myself on the train today, going downtown to a large computer store... and played with an iPad for about an hour. They had about 20 of them laid out for people to explore, and all of them were in constant use. There certainly is a lot of interest out there.

Hmmm........

Not a good solution - Stanza desktop does let you transfer books to Stanza iPhone, but all the purdy formating gets lost.
Use Calibre. Drag ePub into Calibre, make sure to activate the content server (in the settings), then start Stanza iPhone and look for Calibre.

I read exclusively on the iPhone - but if you're used to a larger screen I can see why you won't make it your default reader.

But Calibre + Stanza will tide you over until iBooks runs on the iPhone.

This was the perfect solution! Thanks!
It was also a good excuse to download the newest version of Calibre. What a delightfully easy way to deal with these world-shaking difficulties! (Word-shaking?)
