1. If I download a book from say fictionwise can I sync it with multiple devices? For example, with 2 iphones and 1 ipod toouch? How about different computers? For example, my deskbook and my notebook.
Right now, I want badly to cast off my dreams of owning an Amazon Kindle and read on the device I already own: the iPhone. However, every solution is compromised by a lack of tight integration—the Kindle 2 included.
I, for one, want to read everywhere: on the iPhone, on the Macbook, on my friend's computer, on the web-enabled toaster. I do not want to search for (or recreate) my bookmarks, notes, and typographical corrections on every device I'm using at the time, nor do I want to be locked in to one single device.
I struggled and struggled to get the instructions I found on this site to work. Wanted to be able to get a MSWord doc into Stanza to read on my iPhone. Easy enough to get the doc into Stanza desktop, but I got stuck trying to sync. Changing the "Internet Sharing" settings in System Preferences (as described in the FAQ's on this site) didn't make any sense, and didn't work when I tried to do what I thought it said. My solution: created a computer-to-computer network on my Mac using the pull-down menu under the Airport icon on the menu bar.
Hi, I first downloaded Stanza in December of '08 and loved it, I immediately invested a ton of time downloading free titles from Project Gutenberg and elsewhere, I also shared pretty much the complete Baen Free Library with Stanza Desktop. In short, I love the program, I've read 9 or ten books in the 2 months or so that I've had the Iphone and I can safely say that it is my most used app.
Here's where the "However" comes in.
