Ebooks dont show up on Stanza iPhone (via USB)

Hello there,

as I have now invested really much time and cant help myself, I know to ask for help here on the forums:

I use an iPhone 3G 16 GB with Stanza 1.91.

I have a few PDF's on my Desktop and I wanted to transfer them to my iphone, as I have no wireless, I tried it via the USB and iPhone Browser method. I created a Stanza Folder and I converted my PDF's do epub and whatever... When I move them to the folder they are there, but they dont show up on the iPhone once i open Stanze.

Can anybody plz help me, because its really annoying when it doesnt work the way it should!!

Issue with <ul> or <ol> followed by <p> and then heading

I have been using Stanza for iPhone and I recently decided to use Calibre for converting HTML files to ePub. I noticed that when I have something like:

[ul]
[li]something here[/li]
[/ul]
[p]some paragraph[/p]
[h3]SUBTITLE GOES HERE[/h3]

the margin between [p] and [h3] is removed for no aparent reason (in the Stanza App for iPhone only),

Epub chapters don't show up on iPhone but do on Mac version

Hi all,

I'm trying to get Calibre server to output to iPhone's Stanza reader so I've begun converting all my .lit files into .epubs so that Stanza iPhone can see them from the Calibre server. Now when i do this and download the epubs to the iphone (either via calibre server or via the stanza desktop app), no chapters show up in any of the epubs on the iphone. They do, however, show up and are accessible in the Stanza and Calibre desktop apps. Any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance.

Retaining ePub formatting for Stanza-iPhone

I have been bypassing Stanza Desktop and using Calibre to send books to my iPhone 3GS.
Formatting, such as bold/italic/underline, links, and chapters all work great, and seem to transfer over without problem (based on the CSS in the ePub).

I'm curious though about typefaces-is the iPhone Stanza just ignoring the typeface callouts and replacing them with the nearest serif or non-serif typeface on the iPhone? It seems as though Georgia is the default, although I may have set that myself a long time ago.

Creating Children's Picture Book for eBook from Adobe InDesign

I am working on creating an eBook for a Children's Picture book. I am using InDesign. I want the pages to look like they look in (Adobe InDesign). So text, etc. needs to be formatted with the pictures. Is this something I can do? The idea is for kids to be able to flip through the book as if they were looking at the book in paper format (flip-through it).

UK ebookstore

I am trying to buy the Lost Symbol by Dan Brown via my iphone but all of the sites that i can search for on my iphone take me to US stores which won't let me buy the book as i am in the UK.

How can i address this issue?

Can't load anything onto my iPhone - help!

Hi all,

I'm quite new to this so apologies if this message has been posted on here a million times by different people (although I did search the forum to get an answer first - couldn't find anything to help me). I am in the UK and tried buying two books from Fictionwise and BooksOnBoard via the Stanza app on my iPhone. However, it said they didn't have the rights to be purchased in the UK. So, I ended up purchasing them through the UK WHSmith ebook shop in PDF format.

Stanza ipod / iphone App Icon

I Love stanza, its my favourite app and I'm always using it, so much so its on my main menu bar: email, safari, music and stanza,
Now this may be a trivial issue for some (and as I can't access feedbooks at the moment due to a restore I'd agree, but while I'm here... :) But I don't like the newer app icon -- the one with the 'frame' -- I much preferred the previous smooth edged app icon that matched the majority of other icons on my ipod touch 1G 32GB.
Could you revert back to the earlier one? (maybe run a poll??) Please??

Stanza iPhone 1.9 crashing on download

I have just installed Stanza 1.9 for iPhone.

Since I recently moved over to a new iPhone 3GS, I have to re-download my DRM-protected ebooks. Unfortunately, whenever a download (from fictionwise.com) completes, Stanza 1.9 for iPhone crashes back to the home screen.
