Stanza on Mac opens to blank screen, just sits there

I just downloaded Stanza for Mac, and when I try to run it, all I get is an empty, white window. Going into Preferences just shows one tab—Bookmarks—with no contents. Closing the window just causes all menus but "Stanza" menu to disappear.

I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.6 on a MacBook Pro Core Duo 2GHz w/ 2GB RAM. Stanza is vers. 1.0b15. I get no error message.

Help!

Thanks,

Yes, confusing...

Hmm... I was thrown by this at first, too! It might be a good idea for it to open with a splash screen or default window explaining options and next steps. And the sudden closing of the app is unsettling, too. But I must compliment you on the pdb transfer abilities-- that's really cool.

And I just read on the boards here the tip that you can use Stanza Desktop on the Mac to convert an ebook to an audiobook. While I rarely listen to audiobooks, I'll have to try that! Hmm... just occurred to me-- who does the reading? The Talking Moose? :-)

It works fine when I load it onto the iphone.
