But it seems login no longer works. Can anyone report back on their experience)

With so many ebooks being published in PDF format, it's been such a dilemma that you can't truly read PDf files like Epub books on your iPhone. I was finally able to figure out how to move PDf files right into the Stanza App on the iPhone and make the files readable like any other Stanza Ebook. This is pure awesome and has saved me such a headache since I'm an avid reader and like to take my time while reading. I like to leave text and come back to it which you can do with Stanza.

The problem

The problem with PDF files now is that you have to email them to yourself, then login to your email and find the email everytime you wanted to continue reading. The problems are even worse, the file just keeps scrolling down forever making a 100 page PDF ebook nearly impossible to read. You never know where you left off. The PDF file is small on the screen and very difficult to zoom in and out of.
