I’ve now downloaded Stanza on my iPod and had a play. There’s a few finickity things I find a little cumbersome, like lack of white space and [lack of] scrolling, but I reckon these are things I’ll very quickly adapt to. And hence I think you have a very good point, Peter.

From a average book reader’s point of view I LOVE the fact I’ve hardly had to do a thing to start reading 1001 books. No purchase of expensive dedicated book reading hardware, no getting used to a different distribution platform (I use and trust iTunes all the time). Within 120 seconds I got Anna Kerenina, all set to read on my journey home, in a form I can actually enjoy rather than find painful.

From the average non-reader’s point of view this is somewhat of a breakthrough. It’s finally gotten more easy to read a classic (or frontlist title, if we all take heed to this post) than London Lite.

No More Excuses.

[...] Times Emit discovered a Stanza ereader, thanks to a tip from Teleread, so I went and got that one too. Stanza supports the .epub format, but the library is mostly public domain. AppEngines also has a combo reader/book thing going on — you can purchase the whole package for ninety-nine cents (search on ebooks when in the iTunes store). Granted, what you’re purchasing is public domain content, but it’s a interesting experiment in mixing form and function, or something like that. [...]

Does the iPhone have the screen resolution to support ebooks? I thought the point of Illiad, Kindle etc was the high res screen that makes reading more like reading print on paper?
