21 October 2009 No Comment

The most popular app store e-book application is the free stanza, from Lexcycle (www.lexcycle.com). stanza works with the desktop application of the same name, which can work with HTML, PDF, Microsoft Word, RTF, as well as all the major e-book standards:

  • Mobipocket
  • Microsoft LIT
  • Palm doc
  • The epub open e-book standard
  • Unprotected Amazon Kindle

This desktop app (see image below) lets you easily view and copy your e-books wirelessly over to your iPod. The iPod app also lets you browse from thousands of free e-books and download them straight to your device.

With an e-book open in stanza, you can share it to your device over a wireless network by enabling sharing. Now from your device you can find all the books that you currently have open in Stanza and download them. and you’re ready to read!

One interesting feature of Stanza is an experimental feature to export books as MP3 audiobooks, so you can listen to them instead of reading them—especially useful if you are driving.
