The New York Times: Stanza: “The iPhone or iPod Touch can act as an electronic book reader.”
Tip of the Week: Turn Your iPhone Into an e-Book

Not seeing complete Feedbooks lists on iTouch

Hi,

New Stanza user. Love the app. However, the Feedbooks browsing could use a little tweaking on the iTouch. When I browse a populous letter (Example, T in all books, or even in science fiction) I cannot get to the bottom of the list. And with some letters not working in Browse by Authors, it means there's no way to get some books. A search by book title would help. For now I know I can do it via the Stanza desktop, but the 'live' browsing of Feedbooks is so useful, I'd love to see it corrected. Maybe even splitting the letters into separate lists. I.E. T-Ti, Th-Tk (Th being the biggest, what with all the 'The' titles out there.) Tl-Tz etc, whatever split lets you see all the books.

Thanks for this great app though.

Thanks for the feedback. We

Thanks for the feedback. We are aware of the current issues with the number of results with feedbooks. Since Stanza currently does not have any paging capability in the catalog browser, we have to cut it off after a certain number of results (200, in this case). We do intend to correct that in the near future, as well as enable you to search for books and authors.

In the interim, we recommend refining your selection by using the "Books by Subject" menu, which should reduce the number of results for a certain letter range (e.g., "Th").

We're glad that you are enjoying the application otherwise!
