Stanza just doesn't work on Mac with Snow Leopard

I have read over 20 books on my iPhone in the past year using Stanza desktop for Mac and Stanza for iPhone. Once I upgraded to Snow Leopard nothing works. I have gone through all the posts & nothing helped; turning firewall off, anonymous transfer, removing spaces in book titles. Half the time the books won't open in the desktop app and I cannot get anything to download to my iPhone. I am not running the latest version of Stanza desktop because of the problems I have read about.
