Words Are Good — no, I’m downloading it now. Will get back with you on that, thanks for the heads up!
Edited to add: I have Windows Vista and Stanza does not support it as of yet and what a shame. This looks to be an interesting book reader.

Interesting review of available apps. Have you given the Stanza app a try?

I’m at work now– I didn’t correct that in my article before I left but I will when I get home but you’re right Angie. It’s still limiting format (.pdb) format. I’m still learning all this stuff and all these various formats is annoying.

Whoops. Mucked up the formatting on that comment.

The only problem with getting on board with this ereader app is that you’re locked into the one format that you can’t read on any other device unless you already own a eBookwise ebook reader, which I don’t.

I thought the ereader format used .pdb format for the reader (Palm format) while Ebookwise uses .imp, so the two are actually mutually exclusive of one another. You can read the ereader format on anything that accepts the .pdb format but it’s still quite limited and that’s frustrating to me as well.

I restrained myself from getting an iPhone when they first came out, but I am soooooo tempted by the 3G version. And if I can read my ebooks on it.… I’m running out of excuses NOT to buy it.
