I've been converting .lit, .pdf, and other files for use on my Kindle. And Stanza does a great job at converting the titles and text. However, author information—while set in Stanza—never seems to actually get displayed on the Kindle. It is just blank.

This makes finding books in, say, a series, a lot more difficult.

I have Stanza and Kindle on my iPod Touch and much prefer Stanza. You can read books on either with a similar look, but Stanza is much more robust in terms of tools: highlighting passages, dictionary, etc. Stanza also provides a nice selection of book vendors, and free is always good. Kindle may have more books, but the last two, relatively recent titles which I wanted and was prepared to pay for, weren't available on Kindle. It all argues for a universal ebook format accessible on any reader. I would hate to see the world of books cut up and locked up by individual vendors.

I followed the directions for exporting the .pdf into the kindle. When I disconnected the kindle from the computer, I couldn't find the documents I had put on the Kindle. So I decided to try again. When I tried to export the .pdf again, I got a message that said that the file already existed on the Kindle, did I want to replace it?

It's already there...but seems to not be showing up in the menus on the kindle. The only thing that is showing up on my first generation Kindle is the User's guide. I've tried "Show All" "Show Most Recent" and Refresh list of items.

Hi, might be a unusual situation.

Have ipod touch 3.0. Have downloaded Stanza via itunes and Stanza Desktop, no problem.

But cannot find anyone in the Stanza library list that has the book I want, Trafalgar 200 Through the Lens. It is on mobipocket

http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eBooks/eBookDetails.asp?BookID=33376

Have loaded the book preview from Mobipocket to my mac, it is a .prc file. But when I try to open it from Stanza Desktop, it says cannot be opened as locked.

After downloading eBooks purchased on lexcycle.com to my desktop, I followed the FAQ instructions to export it to Kindle using the Stanza desktop app. I saved it to the Kindle connected to USB, in the "documents" folder.

I appears in the Kindle, but when I try to open it I get "The selected item could not be opened. Please use your computer to visit Amazon.com and clin on "ManageYourKindle" on the "Your Account" page for help in solving this problem.

Of course the amazon page has no help on this issue.

In the process of converting PDFs to the Kindle format, I have created a problem. I convert the PDFs to HTML and use Stanza to convert the HTML to .azw files. It looks fine on the Stanza desktop, but the text on the Kindle contains visible syllable breaks. So, the sentence "the Roman centurions slowly advanced" looks something like "the Ro-man cen-tur-i-ons slow-ly ad-vanced." The text is properly formatted otherwise.

Any ideas?

There are a couple of Kindle books on Amazon that I'd like to purchase, however I'd hate to pay for something and then not be able to read it on Stanza on my iPod Touch. As I looked for answers here, I found a page about supported formats. There was a statement just above the chart of formats that said, "Please look carefully at the right-most column "DRM Support". If the entry in that column is "No" for a particular format, we support that format only when there is no DRM-protection."

I have an iPhone with the Stanza application loaded, and Stanza desktop for Windows. Can I purchase a Kindle title from Amazon.com and then open it in Stanza desktop which then allows me to move it over wirelessly to Stanza iPhone? The Stanza file compatibility section says it supports Kindle files, but not DRM protected Kindle files on the iPhone. Amazon claims that Kindle files only run on Kindle machines. Anyone know the answer to this?

Thanks.

I a trying to download technical articles in pdf to my Kindle. Regular pdf's do not convert well. I am trying to use the Imagemagick command "convert" to convert the pdf files to bitmapped images, which look better. I use the command "convert -density 120x120 file.pdf fileout.pdf" The output looks OK in Preview or Adobe Reader, but when I open fileout.pdf in Stanza, only the first page is displayed. Has anybody had any experience with this approach?

I am running Stanza 1.0.0-beta13 on Mac OS X 10.4.11.
