Customer Reviews
Need double tap to turn a page
Great app, thanks! I am using it doing lots of readings. Need to have a double tap to turn a page function, I am using iPad, it's so easy to touch the screen by accident and turned a page, which is very frustrating. Please do consider implement this function, tks!
Wonderful wonderful book reader!!!!
Stanza is a WONDERFUL program, and I have experienced no problems either on my Ipod touch or my Ipad.
However, I'd like to warn people NOT to purchase books from "All Romance Ebooks" listed in the catalog. It is a company for Ereader devices, NOT Iphone, Ipod touch, or Ipad. There are a few books that can be converted through Stanza desktop, as well as some downloadable books, but the majority of books are unlockable and the company will not refund, credit or exchange. Unfortunately there is no way to know which books are the secure locked files prior to purchasing. Please don't do what I did....find a favorite author; purchase a bunch of books.....and get nothing. The company CEO did apologize and told me that they have many free titles that should make me feel better about all the money I spent:)
I have had good experiences with Fictionwise as well as Books-On-Board. So far all of their books were available to download and/or convert, and I was able to see the files prior to purchasing!
Best ebook app
I sat down with my iPhone next to my friend's Kindle. Don't know how anybody can stand that flashing fuzzy negative image as the page "turns" on the Kindle--it would give me a migraine every time! My heart belongs to Stanza. And Stanza is a free app!!
I've now been using Stanza for more than six months. I've tried several other book apps--including Apple's own iBooks, but Stanza is easily the beat designed.
