So the crystalbothering gitwizard is here with another smug and not-at-all-researched waste of space. One word, "stanza".

How is this news? There have been plenty of ebook readers released on the app store - I've been using Stanza for months now. Maybe a little research should be done before simply regurgitating a press release?

PS, because publishers are so reluctant, the best source for eBooks, is the non-profit (for the good of humanity.. blah blah) Gutenberg project;

www.gutenberg.org/

Been reading eBooks on my hacked iPod for over a year.
It works well enough, could be better of course, but it's good enough for the usual eBook data trash.

Anyone who's used the other eBook readers know they're good as well, but they also have their faults, like unnatural page refreshes. But hey, all this is still very early stages of a technology not widely adopted, with little financial motivation or cooperation from publishers.
With the slow demise of major newpapers and magazines, does anyone think publishers are embracing this technology before they are ready to move (having paid off all their old presses maybe).

BTW, with regards to the picture crack/comment, that's one advantage of things like the iPod/Phone, RIM Storm & other such devices; if there are illustrations they can do a good job of reproducing those images, whereas the others at best provide you a shadow of the originals.
