We should see Mobipocket later this year and perhaps even Adobe DE will get ported, but in the meantime we don't have a reader (that I know of) on the iPhone for reading ePub formatted books. Stanza may not be perfect but it does get ePub out there...this has to be a good thing.

I'm waiting for something that actually supports the standard.
