\"stanza2\"<\/a>I wrote about this last week, how I did not care much for the kindle reader<\/a>, and cared less about amazon crashing on me. (still have not determined the problem yet… been busy). It felt slow and a touch klunky. It crashed the first time I loaded it.\u00a0 From what I read, the time is takes to actually read, going page to page is not that great either.<\/p>\n

But I thought I would write a few quick words on what I do like.\u00a0 The Stanza.<\/a><\/p>\n

Whats great about this little app is .. well everything actually.\u00a0 You can search, book, magazines, newspapers.\u00a0\u00a0 They have a great only library of over 100k books.\u00a0 I was able to find ‘outliers’ for 9.99, although I was not able to find ‘The Difference Engine’. Read the Times, BBC, Wired etc.. and started reading ‘the time machine’ which is a sample book that comes with the app I believe.\u00a0 Although I did find it odd finding the ‘tipping point’ in the category of Fictionwise.\u00a0 Perhaps Fictionwise is not all fiction.<\/p>\n

Navigation is simple enough..\u00a0 The right side of the page advances, the left goes back a page and then center is the menu. Landscape\/Portait switching is clean and pages load fast. Now, I cannot imagine there are as many books availble through Stanza as Amazon, but I can say this. I will check Stanza first, and then consider buying the book before I buy through kindle.\u00a0 As least for now.<\/p>\n
