Stanza, Instapaper and Classics among e-reading faves of MacWorld reviewer

By David Rothman

"…For now…the best overall book reader is Stanza. For reading Web content, look no further than Instapaper. For the most enjoyable reading experience, dive into the classics of Classics. And if you want the broadest selection and best deals on books for sale, Kindle for iPhone rules the roost." - Ben Boychuk in MacWorld (via Publishers Lunch and Electricbook, and with links added).
