I guess you should realize that when I say DRMed ePub, I mean the ePubs that have to go through Adobe Digital Editions.

Mike, there’s no ePub DRM standard at the moment. I dislike DRM, to put it mildly. But I suppose it’s one possibility for the “protection”-crazed. The smartest publishers will just say good-bye to DRM and either use social DRM or nothing at all. That’s why I’m so excited about Pan Mac’s use of non-DRMed ePub. Thanks. David

*slapping my dim head*

Thanks for that. I keep forgetting that Stanza also has a desktop component!

Now the next Stupid Question: Could it do DRMed ePubs? If not, is that planned to be added?

Sure. And there’s 2 ways to transfer them: enter the URL in Stanza, or use Stanza desktop.

Well, OK, let me be the one to ask the Stupid Question: Those non-DRMed ePubs from Pan Mac (ooh, does that come out as “Pac Man” when I read it!), if a way to transfer them to the iPhone was possible, Stanza would read them just A-OK?
