This is listed as an alternative to Calibre, but it is not. The Stanza website even recommends you use Calibre to convert books!

Stanza is not actually available for Linux. According to the Stanza site "it has been reported that Stanza has been run successfully on Linux in virtualization environments such as VirtualBox." - http://www.lexcycle.com/faq#4n39
I do hope they make a version for Linux at some point but until then Calibre is a great alternative and (in my opinion) Calibre runs better in Ubuntu then it ever did on my iMac.

Stanza on the iPhone is awesome. However, the desktop versions I've tried on the Mac and Windows are disappointing. Both versions did a poor job of rendering ePub files that had been converted by calibre. I've found that calibre works better as a reader than Stanza.

Comment by Mutant about Stanza Desktop Jan 2010

In my opinion Stanza desktop used in conjunction with Stanza on the iPhone is *the* kindle replacement. It's not eInk, but i don't care, I have any book I want, in nearly any fashion at my fingertips in my iPhone. Using Calibre to manage my books lets me put them on my wife's Android phone as well. Calibre+Stanza=GOLD!
