I am really enjoying reading on my iTouch and I have to say that I was a “paperdork"(Aaron’s fabulous term) before I downloaded Stanza on my iTouch. Stanza is a free reader for your iTouch/iPhone. I’ve tried out many different free apps on my iTouch but Stanza for me is the best. The only thing I don’t love is that you can’t annotate text yet but I know many users have asked for that function.
I especially like that while in Stanza you can download ebooks right to your iTouch/iPhone with their Online Catalog. The Online Catalog links to many different online sites but by far my favorite has been Feedbooks.
Feedbooks is a universal e-reading platform compatible with all mobile devices where you can download thousands of free e-books, publish and share your own content, and create customized newspapers from RSS feeds and widgets.
One of the other great things (thanks Kim) to do with Stanza is to use ePub2Go to convert your PDFs. You simply go to the ePub2Go site and either upload or link to a PDF you want. Once you have uploaded your PDF and it has been converted you will get an option: “I'd like an e-mail sent to my iPhone so that I can download the book to Stanza.” Then you just open your email, click on the link, and the PDF is downloaded into Stanza.
Also don’t forget to check out some free manuals to add to your iTouch/iPhone using ePub2Go from http://the-manuals.com/.
