kindle app DESTROYS ibooks imo

[iPadCharlie]

I don't know exactly how to do it, but I believe the Stanza app will supposedly read any format.

does the kindle app allow you to import pdf's from email? I do not buy books on ibook, but I do use it as a pdf reader for legal docs. It has served its purpose thus far, but I am always looking for cheaper, better options.

What is cheaper than free? You can read pdfs in ibooks for free. The kindle app for ipad/iphone doesn't allow anything other than kindle books to be read.

No, it doesn't support any format. From their website

Stanza iPhone / iPod Touch supports eReader with or without DRM and ePub without DRM.

I had to convert all my books to epub when I still used Stanza on my iphone. Since ibooks also reads epub natively, I have no need for Stanza anymore.

I know some of you have Android phones and such, and Kindle is now on Android! I don't have an Android product, but I am always glad to see good reading software available on everything....

Actually Stanza for iPad can read ePub, eReader, PDF, Comic Book (CBR and CBZ) and DjVu. All formats can even be dragged and dropped within iTunes....

Guess they need to update their FAQ on their website then.

Hm..my neighbor own a kiddle from amazon, but personally i think you need to give sometimes, i believe ipad will have more ibook available so you can save money on buying kindle and use that money on ibook

They do. The faq on the website does not even include the iPad yet. The correct info is in the app store though......

Kindle still smokes iBooks for reading and purchasing books, but iBooks just took a major leap forward for me as a .pdf reader. I had been using the GoodReader app (which is well worth 99¢), but thanks to this forum, I just found out that iBooks will read .pdf's! All you do is open iTunes and click on Books on the left side of the screen. Now open whatever you use to "explore" your computer's file system and locate your .pdf's. Now you can either drag & drop them into the Books screen or Copy & Paste into the books screen. Sync your iPad and voila!

Look, if a Windows person can figure this out, anyone can!

I still prefer Goodreader for my PDF's.... Main reason is Goodreader has Dropbox integration and iBooks does not. I just slap a bunch of PDF's out on the cloud, and pull down as needed.....

And, I can't defend this, but I just like reading PDF's better in Goodreader.....

the perfect book reader software for me would have :
- night mode like Kobo
- integrated dictionary like iBooks
- it lets me change the font to one with no serifs
