How To Read eBooks on your iPhone
Apr 5th
With the release of the iPad, many people are looking to put eBooks on their iPhone’s. However, Apple does not let iPhone users have access to the iBookstore just yet. Many publishers are publishing books in the both MOBI and EPUB formats.
I recently purchased some eBooks and wanted to get them onto my iPhone. There is no way to do this through iTunes. One way is to load these eBooks onto your Kindle and you can download the Kindle app from amazon onto your iPhone. I do not have a Kindle though and I was running out of ideas.
Then I came across Stanza. It’s an iPhone app and desktop application. What you do is download the app onto your iPhone and download the desktop application onto your computer. You can download Stanza for desktop here. Also search “Stanza” in your iPhone App Store and download the app for free.
What Stanza does is, takes the eBooks you have on your computer and through your wireless network shares them with your iPhone. Watch the video below to learn how to do upload eBooks to your iPhone with Stanza.
