With all this talk of Kindle on the show this week, I was wonder if anyone had and favorite ebook solutions for the beloved Apple device. Currently using Stanza, but there isn't an easy solutions to get book on there from the computer (mac over here). Any other favs out there?

Amazon has a kindle app for the iphone. I've never used it, so I can't vouch for whether it's good or not.

I'm using Stanza and happy with it, I love the night time mode. There is an extremely easy solution to get eBooks on Stanza.
Install Stanza for Mac at http://www.lexcycle.com/download-macintosh
When launched go to file > open and select your eBook
On tools > sharing make sure it is ticked
Now go to your iPhone, open Stanza press "Shared Books" on the main screen and select your book of choice and it'll be downloaded to your iPhone.
Hope that helps :)

I use Stanza as well - the latest version is quite good, if only they'd disable text selection. It's too easy to activate.
I've used the Stanza PC desktop app to get books on to my ipod touch, and it works pretty good. If you're web-savvy you can set up a stanza-friendly feed, but the desktop app is much easier.

I'm using Stanza as well the only problem I have is that all of my ebooks are in PDF format and Stanza just converts it all to one long stream of text, making it nearly impossible to read. The best I could do was export it from Adobe Reader as a TXT file, then load that into Stanza. it's not perfect but at least the paragraphs are separated.
