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),
see here:

the source code for this is:

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.

Most ePubs I have created display the correct cover image in Stanza Desktop (Mac) and on the iPhone. However there are 2 books that always display the wrong image in Stanza Desktop, and the same wrong image as the thumbnail and initial cover image in Stanza on the iPhone. (On the iPhone, a few seconds after opening the book, the cover page loads and the correct image appears. Stanza Desktop always displays the wrong image).

These books display the correct cover image in Adobe Digital Editions (Mac) and on a Sony PRS-505 Reader.

Hello,

first of all, congratulation for the Stanza app for iphone : i've just found it out and it looks like very interesting, especially since it provides access to non-english Project Gutenberg books.

One question regarding the features: I want to read the following book from the project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/25097). It is available in epub both without and with the images. When downloaded on the ipod (with OS 3.0), it looks like only the imageless version is stored. Is there a way to force the download of the image-embedded version of the epub book ?

I have some epub books which were previously downloaded from the net to load into a Sony Reader. Would like to load these books into Stanza Desktop and download into iPod Touch. On loading into Stanza Desktop, get the message "java.io.IOException: Pushback buffer overflow". Can anyone help, please?

Does Stanza support abobe ebook with drm protection yet? Or not?
I was just about to buy a book in adobe ebook format after google searching and finding loads of news articles saying adobe ebooks were supported by Stanza:

You seem to have been publicizing this support in February.

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 :

Several textbook publishers are using SVG to represent mathematical equations in etextbooks in order that they be scalable. Currently, they seem to be pointing their customers at Adobe Digital Editions which handles the SVG. Are there plans to support SVG in a future version of Stanza? Equations are important for education and scientific research. About 50% of the departments in a typical university have mathematics in their content.

I recently purchased an ebook from Waterstones, in epub format. I cannot open it in Stanza desktop and hence cannot transfer it to my ipod touch.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I have an .epub book that when I open it in Adobe Digital Editions, there's a table of contents on the left side with Title, Dedication, Introduction, Contents, chapter I, chapter II, etc. When I go to Contents, it's a listing of all the chapters and the chapters are clickable, like a hyperlink, and then that takes me to the chapter.
