Lexcycle Stanza 1.0.0 Beta 12 Build 1:360

Stanza can read eBooks on your PC and share with your iPhone, iPod Touch, & Kindle.

Featuring a clean, well-organized interface, Stanza is expressly designed for reading digital publications, including electronic books, newspapers, PDFs, and general web content. Stanza is built from the ground up to make reading on your Macintosh or Windows laptop or desktop an enjoyable and hassle-free experience.

It gives special attention to details that are usually overlooked in other software readers such as hyphenation, text columnation, automatic text scrolling, and user-friendly page and chapter navigation. Lengthy content that can be tedious to read using a web browser or PDF viewer is easy and natural with Stanza.

Stanza features built-in support for HTML, PDF, Microsoft Word, and Rich Text Format reading, as well as all the major eBook standards: unprotected Amazon Kindle and Mobipocket, Microsoft LIT, Palm doc, and the International Digital Publishing Forums new epub Open eBook standard.

In addition to supporting a plethora of formats, Stanza features an open API that allows developers to implement support for their own document formats. Stanza is more than just a reader: it is a reading platform!

Stanza supports a variety of text "layouts" to suit the tastes of different readers and different reading styles. In addition to the default multi-column format that closest simulates a novel or newspaper on your screen.

Stanza features a single-column layout that automatically scrolls vertically at a user-adjustable rate, allowing you to read your content without having to navigate manually at all.

Vertical scrolling is useful not only for consuming large bodies of text very quickly but also for presentations where a teleprompter-style of display is desired. It is also ideal for readers with disabilities who may have difficulty advancing between pages using the keyboard or mouse.

Combined with Stanzas full-screen mode, vertical text scrolling is the simplest possible reading interface for children, the elderly, or anyone with difficulty using a computer. And all of Stanzas layouts feature the ability to dynamically increase the font size, which comes in handy for people with partial vision impairments.
