I don’t understand why anyone would use this when Stanza is available for free and allows you to put almost any book on your iPhone?

Me thinks the pretty face of Classics is only skin deep.

Why in the world would anyone buy this when they cannot create/format/add their own books?

I’m all for options, but I’ve found Stanza to be a great alternative. Its very readable, and it has a much greater selection of free and public domain works available for it. Its also free.

I’ve been using this all the time on the train for the last couple of days. Read most of the books before but it’s great to have it on something I take with me anyway. The Interface is gorgeous and really well polished, shame we don’t see more apps like this.

I actually bought this immediately. and I was not in the least bit disappointed.

Sure the selection is slim right now, but the updates (which the developer has stated will be definite) will add more books for free. $2.99 is a small price to pay for such a polished app. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who (like me) loves to read but hates to carry around a book.

It’s an interesting app, but for $2.99 I should be able to add my own books, or at least be able to download my choice of the thousands of public domain works out there. That’s why Stanza still gets my vote. Three bucks isn’t much, but free is much better.
