iPhone Image Support?

How long until Stanza supports images? It's the only thing holding me back from using the app, as I mainly read childrens books and comic books. Would die for this feature. Otherwise, it's one of my favorite iPhone apps.

Image support

Stanza does support images, of course. If .epub book contains them, they are perfectly shown.

As an example you can try some books from a classical spanish library I'm working on these last days. It's still in development, but for now it contains two books with some images:

Siglo XVI. El Lazarillo de Tormes
Siglo XIX. La Regenta

The second one contains 138 images, as you can read in its description, so file size is 12 Mb. Consider your Internet connection before trying to download.

Feel free to try them, open and zoom images and discover how pleasant can be a reading with Stanza. The link is www.perezalvarez.es/literatura/lce.atom

These books are in Project

These books are in Project Gutenberg as plain text or HTML format. You have to save them as .epub and ensure tat the resulting file contains the JPEG files and the right links. It's not difficult but requieres some practice. If I have some spare time this weekend I'll try to convert some.
