I just got Eucalyptus after reading this and other reviews. Most comments were positive. I like Stanza, but the text rendering in Eucalyptus looks so much better, and today (20th Jan 2010) all proceeds go to Oxfam to aid disaster relief in Haiti: http://www.indierelief.com/

In reply to shy. Glad to hear you're enjoying it. I agree on that drawback as well - hope they add that capability in an update.

I have purchased this apps and don't regret at all. This is only apps that can display Gutenberg books like Kindle for iPhone. One drawback is u cant add external sources.

robinson – true that. It will also be interesting to see how things go with Stanza, since Amazon bought them recently …

A $10 app will have a hard time competing against the free Stanza, especially with Stanza's incredible Gutenberg browsing.

^^^ 'the gesture area' – you lost me there …

Really interesting idea. I think the gesture area could be a nice compromise between the touch screen and the prehistoric Kindle joystick. Seems pointless to favor touch screen over readability in a device like this.

Rags – yeah, that's the same sort of reason why I think Eucalyptus will form part of a good 'two app' solution for me for now, along with Kindle for iPhone …

My only hesitation is the fact that I can't add content to this. 20k titles sure is a lot, but I would also like to read more modern stuff and sci-fi...I'm not sure how much I'd be able to find there. I guess I'll look at the site.

THanks for the look!
