Access Manybooks from Stanza

Fri, 01/02/2009 - 21:52 — neelan

I've seen numerous posts indicating that Stanza can't read books from Manybooks.net. I am writing this blog for two reasons:

  1. To show users that there is a relatively easy route to get to the free eBooks at Manybooks from Stanza iPhone / iPod Touch
  2. To highlight the "Add Web Page" feature in Stanza's Online Catalog

To access the Manybooks site via Stanza iPhone:

  • Launch Stanza and from the Library screen, tap on the "Online Catalog"
  • From the Online Catalog, hit the "+" icon at the bottom right of the screen
  • Tap "Add Web Page"
  • Enter any name you want in the Name field. I used "Manybooks.net"
  • Enter "http://www.manybooks.net" in the URL field

Let us know how this works for you.

Stanza

Thanks for the information.
I have never imagined that iPhone/ iPod will be that famous one day, with all these options available.
Stanza is a very good program which makes your device a mobile library.
I recommended to every one.

Later version?

I'm not seeing a link to "Online Catalog" on the Library screen. Perhaps I have a newer version than the instructions were written for. -- Stanza 2.1. Perhaps it's now "Get Books"?

Either way, I can't find an "Add Web Page" link in the app, alas.

(Ah. Apologies for the multiple postings. Had some server connection problems and apparently the posting link stuttered.)

Get Books

It has been replaced with "Get Books" / "Shared".
