Stanza

Perfektní na konverze e-knih do a z všemožných formátů co ani Calibre tak kvalitně nedokáže.

This application was bought by Amazon then killed. It is no longer being developed. When it was alive, it was barely useful. Good riddance.

Dead links. Can't go to Developer's site. Can't download app. Should be removed from MacUpdate.

god i hate this website sign up bull shit. ok finally.. i downloaded stanza desktop to my mac successfully. but im having a problem finding books to read on the damn thing. when i open up stanza it says to "use file menu to open a book." how? its not like i already have books on my comp to read... i used to have stanza on my itouch but it was recently stolen, and it was simple to get books, there was a way to access 'drinkmalk' to get more books onto stanza, is that possible still?

I didn't pay for Stanza for the Touch, and I maintain that this is the most readable, easy to use readers on an increasingly crowded market. Locating free books or purchasing from a small stock of digital books is very easy; but what makes this such a pleasure is the clean, uncomplicated interface. Fast and very easy to use, this should be a standard for readers.

Excellente application! -Grande variété de format supportés - Excellent outil de conversion de fichier (ePub...) - Ajoute des Tags aux eBooks - Gestion des marques-pages Et elle devient une incontournable si elle est associé à sa version sur iOS . Vous pouvez en effet partager tout vos ebooks, et les retrouver ainsi sur votre iPhone, iPod ou iPad, et de là les envoyer par emails à vos amis. Le tout est gratuit. Le format ePub est compatible avec l'application iBooks.

There must have been a lot of improvements in this since June -- I'm pretty impressed with this version. It's lightning fast on my machine (Snow Leopard on a Core 2 Duo iMac) and has worked without a glitch so far. Of course, I immediately loaded up the great (free) Tofu to do a comparison, and I have to say, Stanza not only does what Tofu does, it adds a whole lot of functionality that Tofu doesn't have, the coolest being bookmarks. Bookmarks are very well implemented and really easy to set and use. With Stanza, you can not only set the background color, as in Tofu's prefs, you can also set and create themes for font and background color and layouts. Stanza allows you to have 6 different kids of layouts -- horizontal scrolling (like a ticker tape!), two, three, or four columns, vertical scrolling narrow (1 endless single narrow newspaper-like column), and vertical scrolling wide (wide column (size of windwow) full screen scrolling. Of course, there's full-screen with any layout you choose, as well. I haven't mentioned all the cool features, but even at this beta stage, it's worth $15 to me, the free Tofu not withstanding, because using Stanza with PDFs or whatever is a very, very pleasant visual experience, and bookmarks make it a must have for a researcher like me.

This is ... I don't know, maybe I shouldn't say ... ok I do it, it's crap. Slow, buggy, sharing doesn't work and it's ugly. About: "Beta Version - expires Mar, 13 2009". Oh really? Who would develop such a thing? At least nothing is charged for this. But 15 bucks for the final? Dear developers, you'll have to do much, much, MUCH! better than this.
