A nice way to get offline access to ebooks for free. I read all of Patton’s “Jefferson, Cabell, and the University of Virginia” on the iPhone using the Google Books web interface, and I think this would be better, not least because of the offline capability.
Wonder how you get the books into an iPhone app.

The UVA Arts Box Office actually does ticketing for student organizations, like the Virginia Glee Club, too (even if it doesn’t link to them). I may pass out from surprise. Back when Arts $ was launched, student orgs were locked out.

File Quarantine (“this application was downloaded from the Internet”) has been augmented by a known bad list. A decent start, but what if the user’s badlist is out of date? Or if they downloaded a file from Bittorrent? Needs improvement.

Hey cool–some fringe benefits from the Black Dog.

The author of Wired’s Craigslist piece digs deeper into the site and where it’s going. Nice follow up blog series coming.
I have yet to find an ePub file I could download in Google’s library… but if I find one I would read them in Stanza.
I would click the ePub link in Safari on the iPhone and it would download into Stanza, otherwise you can download the ePub file to your computer and then upload it into Stanza (or likely any of the other fine reader apps on the iPhone) with the desktop client.
HTH!
