It is no longer being developed.
When it was alive, it was barely useful.
Good riddance.

Stanza is also not working on iOS5 (crashes at startup) - I recommend GoodReader on iOS as a replacement.

-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.

I saw a Stanza blog that said that Amazon bought them out recently..maybe that's why there's nothing to buy yet? Or maybe Amazon is going to offer this free to everyone, with perhaps the Kindle Reader in mind? Just speculating, but for now, as far as I can tell, Stanza desktop is as free as the iPhone Stanza, which makes Stanza, with all it's great feature,s an incredibly good deal in my book.

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.

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.

Other than that this app is quite handy and is the only one on OSX to export to kindle format since we don't have mobipocket creator.
