Hi, I'm running Stanza Desktop version 1.0.0-beta17 build #1:403 on Windows 7 RC. I have noticed the following problem(s) (not sure if they are related).

1.) When I close the stanza windows, the process or processes still show up in my task manager. I have to manually kill them.

When I open Stanza on my Mac OSX I get a blank page with only grayed out text 'Use File Menu to Open a Book' in the middle of the page. The file menu allows me to open 'Recently Opened' books, which is how I found the two I have downloaded so far. If I go to 'Open' I don't even know where to navigate to to find any ebooks I might have. I did a search and they are in the 'Download' folder, but I had no way of knowing that through the Stanza software. This can't be the way it was designed to work.

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.

Hi,

I built an ePub of my own, but when I try to open the book in Stanza Destkop, it is unreadable.
It seems Stanza doesn't recognize my ePub as such. It reads other ePub files quite well, that's how I know the problem comes from my files, but the fact is, there's no DRM and the ePub is valid. is anyone aware of an error like this that passes epubcheck ? I've been checking my code for the last 6 hours now... and still no clue..
thanks in advance for the help !

this is what it looks like :

I am not sure if I did this correctly.

I downloaded a book in mobipocket (multiformat book not DMR) from fictionwise onto my computer then I went from Stanza desktop to read it. It has no format no pictures or anything. Just one long document.

I loaded the same book onto the iphone from fictionwise and did not lose the format or the cover page picture.

What is the right procedure to get books onto the desktop?

Hi,
When trying to open a .prc file I get a "Could not load book" error. The message says "java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1503". What does this mean? Sorry if this an obvious thing....

Installed Stanza Desktop and then downloaded a book from Stanza Fictionwise, but it says "Stanza Desktop cannot read this eReader book. However, you can share this book with Stanza iPhone/iPod Touch from Stanza Desktop."

The email notification I received regarding my purchase said "You can also download your books to your desktop computer to read using other eReader client software by visiting http://Stanza.Fictionwise.com and clicking the "Bookshelf" link."

I can use the free eReader from eReader.com to read the Fictionwise book.

OS: 10.5.6
Stanza Desktop: 1.0, beta 16, build #1:396

I currently have two problems with the Info for books :

1. I can't save the Info. When I close the Info dialog and then re-open it, any changes I made have been lost

2. I can't enter spaces into the Title or Author fields. If I type a space, nothing happens (or at least, nothing is displayed). I can work around this by typing an Option space, but this is hardly ideal.

Hi!

I have a lot of ebooks in PDF (some in French) I want to move to my iPhone Stanza. But when I open these PDFs in Stanza desktop, the page is blank, just blank. These PDFs are text files, not images, so Stanza should be able to display them. But page after page is just BLANK. I can save them to other formats such as Kindle and the .azw files will show a reasonable size. Stanza is reading and handling these works but NOT DISPLAYING THE TEXT. Help! Does this latest release of Stanza Desktop work? I'm on OSX 10.4.10. Thanks.

I just tried to load an eReader book I made myself into Stanza through the latest version of Stanza desktop. It turned into gibberish. What gives?
