Hey!

So, I'm having a frustrating problem with Stanza.

I have both the app for the Mac and iPod Touch but I can't seem to get books opened on the Mac app into the iPod Touch app.

What's most frustrating is that about a year ago I had the 1st Gen iPod Touch (Now, 2nd Gen) and I could easily get books into the Touch...

So here's what I do. First, both iPod Touch and Macbook are under the same WiFi network. I'll open a PDF file under the Stanza Mac app and Enable Sharing under Tools. I'll then enter Stanza on the iPod Touch, click on Shared Books, then "Books on John-Smiths-Macbook-Pro>" (Thankfully it shows up). After clicking on the "Book-on-John-Smiths-Macbook-Pro" it'll say loading, but nothing ever happens. I've tried numerous times but nothing, not even after waiting for a while.

Any ideas?

I've checked out the Stanza FAQ section but nothing truly helpful.

I have well over 50 PDF books/reads I'd like to add and the other solution of emailing myself the pdf book and accessing it through Safari on the iPod Touch is a slow process. I need to be able to do it using Enable Sharing on the same network. Considering I've done it this way before (over a year ago), I find the method simple...aside from this speed bump so far.

My current workaround has been uploading these PDF files to Air Sharing Pro but truthfully reading long pages on it sucks...while Stanza works great for me.
