Hi Teresa and Mary, You can get the information on where to download Stanza for the Mac by going to the Mail Archive site for either this list or the Mac-access list and typing into the search text box: from:Esther stanza then press Return. The first link returned in either instance has a post containing the download information. Here's the link that came up for this list. The post contains detailed instructions on how to download. Re: stanza for the Mac. http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries@googlegroups.com/msg63550.html
The Mac-access list link was a long and detailed discussion of ePub reading options on the Mac, so I won't paste it in here. But it did give links to two different working download URLs for the Mac version of Stanza, so I'll paste them in here: • Stanza desktop version for the Mac -- CNET download page: http://download.cnet.com/Stanza/3000-2056_4-198177.html • Stanza desktop version for the Mac -- Softonic download page: http://stanza.en.softonic.com/mac The reason the desktop version of Stanza is hard to find is that Amazon bought Lexacycle, the developers of the Stanza eBook app on the iPhone, and then closed down the site last November. At one time the Stanza app on the iOS platform was deemed the major potential competitor to Amazon's Kindle. Lexacycle developed the Stanza Desktop app primarily as a way to convert the diverse eBook formats to the ePub standard they promoted for their iOS Stanza app, and also as a way to support direct uploads of eBooks to their iOS app. They also added support for reading these other eBook formats in their desktop app, but it wasn't the primary design purpose. HTH.
