As I understand it my iPod Touch must be hooked up to the internet in order to download ebooks. The problem is that I want to read manuscripts in pdfs that are on my desktop. Is there an application that would allow me to just drag (I have a Mac) the pdf to iTunes or something similar? My iPod Touch is not wireless enabled and at $99 a year in today's economy, won't be anytime soon.

Is there hope?

First of all, just a shout of thanks to the creators of Stanza. The iPod touch/iPhone version is a great app, intuitive and wonderfully customisable. The desktop version is slightly less amazing, but I guess most of the reason is because my eBooks are mostly in .txt .doc or .html format and therefore can't take advantage of the advanced features :P

That said, I've got a problem with each of the versions.

Seattle, WA--Lexcycle today announced that more than 2 million users have downloaded Stanza, the popular electronic book reader application for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch, since it was launched one year ago. Stanza’s award-winning reading experience, which features customizable formatting, searching, library management and over-the-air book downloads on demand, has led to more than 12 million book downloads.

After upgrading my iPod touch to 3.0, the category function ("Subjects") in Stanza 1.8.1 fails to respond. I cannot set new categories for new or old books, and I cannot remove books from given subjects, whether set by me or the publisher. This also applies to the "Collections" function. Both worked perfectly before. If it matters, I am using WiFi over a PC with XP Pro & Stanza Desktop to transfer books. Is this problem fixed in the new Stanza 3.0 upgrade?

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.

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."

For all of you romance fans out there, you can now try out reading on your iPhone or iPod Touch via Stanza. And best of all, its for free. We've teamed up with Harlequin to roll out a holiday promotion today to give away four short romance novels as a holiday gift to romance readers to read on their iPhones via Stanza.

Hi, after updating my ipod touch firmware, to 2.2, stanza closes when opening the settings from within a document. When the ipod is in portait alignment stanza closes straight away, in landscape it opens the settings page but as soon as I try to scroll past 'reverse colours' stanza simply closes down.
I can still read but I thought I just highlight it and then it would be nice to be able to change the font. BR, Mike
