Where did free feedbooks go?

Sun, 02/08/2009 - 18:03 — Anonymous

I just installed Stanza on my iPhone and downloaded a couple of titles, in fact, the same ones as in the 10-minute video on iPhone stanza.

But now when I look for that free catalog to get more titles, it says "catalog is empty".

Did the feedbook free catalog go away or am I screwing up somewhere?

Thanks!

feedbooks - catalog is empty

Due to my ipod touch being unable to save a backup, I had to restore my ipod back to factory settings and lose all my original data. (thanks apple -- none of your suggestions worked, and a lot of people have the problem!)
This included Stanza. (Stanza is my favourite app & is on my main menu bar:)
I have a feedbooks account and I am logged in.
When I go to feedbooks >>> public domain books >> subjects >>> science fiction >>> all books, I get the message that 'Catalog is Empty'
I get this message whichever catalog I go to if I go via "subjects" or any other category except "reading lists."
In reading this thread I see that the catalogue may go offline and become available later (I have been trying for over 24 hours) -- however I can see all the books at feedbooks in my web browser, but my stanza app is not picking up the books .
Any help will be appreciated!

They are having some issues

They are having some issues with their Stanza catalog right now. We hope they get it fixed soon. Until then, though, you can download many books from the "Project Gutenberg" catalog, or else you can tap the "+" button in the Online Catalog screen, add a new web page, and enter "feedbooks.com", and browse for books that way. Tapping the ePub link for the books will download and import them into Stanza, which will server as a workaround until their repair the catalog.

Thanks

OK Thanks for you faster than light response! I've had a very frustrating few days (with apple and microsoft failures) -- and as long as I can see light at the end of the tunnel (that isn't a train coming) I will have patience.
Thanks again
PS... re the stanza icon, please look for a recent thread...
All the best!
