Bizarre. Stanza is my favorite ebook reader app -- because it works beautifully with epubs -- and it's a free download from the App store. 75 apps — and no mention of Stanza? Bizarre.

This is possibly the best dictionary I've ever had anywhere. Generally you don't have to type the whole word before it starts suggesting things, so if you are a little fuzzy on the spelling, you can find it. Then it will also pronounce the word if you click on the microphone icon. This is huge, way better than diacritical markings. Since my phone is always with me, this is great when reading a "real" book, as opposed to my Kindle. If you don't have to get up out of your chair, you are more apt to look it up.
