Stanza for iPhone/iPod Touch

Another good and free app for you iPhone/iPod Touch owners, especially who loves to read e-book, LexCycle is offering a free e-book reader called Stanza (required v2.0 software or above).

Here are some of the quick explanation from the developer itself:

"Featuring a clean, well-organized interface, Stanza is expressly designed for reading digital publications, including electronic books, newspapers, PDFs, and general web content. ... Stanza features built-in support for HTML, PDF, Microsoft Word, and Rich Text Format reading, as well as all the major eBook standards: unprotected Amazon Kindle and Mobipocket, Microsoft LIT, Palm doc, and the International Digital Publishing Forum's new epub Open eBook standard."

There's also a desktop e-book reader version for Stanza, available for Windows XP/Vista and Mac OS, click on this
link to download it. Since all of these free apps are still in Beta version, LexCycle is still asking for users feedback to improve them.

Zak Reiter from
iPhone Alley pointed out some important insight about Stanza: "What caught me by surprise is their large amount of fully available and free books. I immediately tapped through and downloaded not one, but six great classic novels. I was stunned still by the simple reading interface. ... Oh by the way... if you want to see something fun, turn your iPhone sideways at any point that you're browsing this program."
