Ebooks and ereaders have been gaining in popularity over the years. there are plenty of sites that offer full books in e format for you to download and read at any time. There are also tons of devices out there that work just as an ereader. Stanza for the iPhone actually turns your phone into an ereader and an elibrary.
If you're not into reading a lot on an small electronic device then you're not going to like Stanza at all. The app allows you to browse through an extensive library of free books and short stories then instantly download them so you can start reading.

If you want to add your own books onto Stanza, you can do that very easily by using their computer software and following the instructions that they provide.
The books available are all free to distribute, but you'll find some great stories from H.P. Lovecraft and H.G.Wells. Once you find a book you want to read, you just open it up and flip through the pages at your leisure. You can change the font size very easily and even set your own bookmarks so you can come back to them later.
In the iPhone Settings app, you can actually change a good deal of setting on this app. Many people find that reading on an electronic device for extended durations hurts their eyes due to the black text on white background so Stanza has made it very easy for you to change both of those options to whatever fits your needs best. Stanza is a great app that everyone who enjoys ebooks should have on their phone.

Unexpected Surprise

User rated 0/5
Review by devax

I'm surprised at home much I am actually using this application. I got it initially just to try it out, but now I find myself reading from it quite often. You can adjust the size and typstyle of the text so that you can read it better (I made it a little bigger).
You can also download some great books for free. I'm enjoying IRobot (not the original Assimov, but one modeled after him) and it's a fun read.
This one is staying in my iPhone.
