iOS6 Breaks Stanza
I upgraded a spare recent-model iTouch with iOS6 after installing Stanza and preloading it with some books. Any attempt to change the display settings after the upgrade locked the program solidly. I had to power down the unit and restart to get response back.
As I told a very nice lady at the Berkeley Apple Store, "I'm due for a cell phone upgrade in a month, and if Stanza doesn't run under iOS6, I'm switching to Aldiko on Android. I'll probably go to Samsung, since Apple's lawsuit told the world that Samsung does the same things for half the price, which is why the Big A sued them in the first place."

I get the same issue with my iPhone 4. Freezes in control screen and crashes, needing re-boot. Currently investigating downgrade... Cannot live without stanza
Hmmm
One must wonder why Amazon chose to buy Stanza. I am sure that, like the Godfather, they made them an offer they couldn't refuse. As an independent company they would have sorted out the problem in the developer phase before iOS 6 was even released. I can only believe that it was to remove a far superior competitor against their crappy Kindle software. I read Kindle on my iPod gen 4 when when I need a new book still in copyright, so I have experience almost everyday just how superior Stanza is.
The release of iOS 5 broke Stanza but it appeared to be a simple patch and they fixed it. But they probably won't fix iOS 6. But as the old saying goes, "Trick me once..." and I am still on iOS 5 on both my touch and my iPad. If only I could remove that annoying red dot with the 1 in the center on the setting icon without downloading the stupid thing! Every upgrade is a downgrade. I am no longer stupid or gullible enough to use "the cloud." Now if I could only upgrade my new MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard.
