Customer Reviews
MUST READ BEFORE BUYING ANYOTHER eREADER!
I am really glad I put off buying bookshelf because I found stanza while just browsing. It has more features than the other ereaders & it's free. Yes, you can read PDF, txt & even kindle books from Amazon. The downside is that it will not display graphics at all (to save resources), which is no big deal for most books unless your PDF book happens to be pictures of pages not the typed version. I didn't know there were different versions of PDF filed but some PDF books are just pictures of the pages, btw, you know this by whether or not u can highlight individual words or not. If it is just a picture then this program reads it as such & won't display it. I haven't encourered it yet but you might.
I hope this program catches on. I like a programmer that helps out the community, eventually he said he may charge ($10-15) once the bugs are worked out but until then it's free & better features then the rest.
So thanks programmer & to all the user, spread the word.
Works well and can load your own books
This reads a wide variety of ebook formats including pdf files. You can also load your own ebooks. To load your own ebooks you need to load Stanza for the Mac. Next you open a file on the Stanza application on the Macintosh. You then make that Stanza application on the Mac sharable. Next you set Stanza on iPhone to browse sharable documents and you'll see your Macintosh and eventually find options to physically download the file to your iPhone.
