Stanza for Macintosh, iPhone, and iPod Touch

Stanza, a free beta download from lexcycle.com is an e-text reader that lets you import and read many e-text formats, including Microsoft Word documents, RTF, PDF, HTML, MobiPocket, LIT, Palm doc, and more. It also exports to these formats as well as converting e-text into spoken audio MP3 files.

The iTunes APP store also has a version of Stanza for your iPod Touch or iPhone using the new 2.0 software upgrade. Download entire books wirelessly to your mobile device and read them at your leisure. Have an e-text on your desktop Mac loaded up in Stanza? Then your iPhone or iPod Touch can download it wirelessly right from your Mac.

This application opens up the whole world of e-text for your iPhone or iPod Touch. Stanza will also convert e-text and download it to your Kindle.
