Idgits. Not only that, but it's got a number of factual errors. "Unfortunately, getting books from the Web at large into Stanza usually requires the help of its sibling desktop application" No, it doesn't. You just tap Online Catalog -> Direct Download -> + and then enter the book's URL. "[Stanza] doesn't support files protected by DRM (digital rights management), so most commercial e-book stores are useless to the iPhone, including Amazon's Kindle Store." WTF?? Now, granted, this was before today's big announcement (which I scooped for TeleRead via a phone call with Steve Pendergrast! :) about eReader licensing its format and DRM to Stanza. But even so, they entirely left out the iPhone eReader app. Their "transform your iPhone" article entirely focused on Stanza and frickin' *Air Sharing*. -- Chris Meadows aka | WWW: http://www.terrania.us | Somebody help, Robotech_Master | ICQ: 5477383 AIM: RoboMastr | I'm trapped in [email protected] | Skype, Gizmo: Robotech_Master | a sig file!
