A request arrived at PG Errata system for help/advice on transferring PG's book files from PC to iPod. Here's the body of the message: I am having trouble downloading certain books to my itunes though others work fine. The ones I'm having trouble with download directly to my computer and I have not figured out how to move them to my ipod. Is this an error or my stupidity. I love gutenberg and was thrilled to find it but am now frustrated with certain author choices. A Google search on "transferring files from pc to ipod" finds all kinds of utilities purporting to do such transfers--any recommendations that I can pass to the requestor? Al

I'm not much of a user of Apple's products, but my wife uses an application called "Stanza" to share ebooks between our desktop and her iPhone, and she seems quite enamoured with it.

Stanza on the iPhone is great. Especially in combination with Feedbook, which provides proper formatting for many Gutenberg etexts. Regards, Walter
I was impressed with Stanza when I saw that it appears to use utf-8 when available. I could pull up a text from Project Gutenberg in Esperanto and see the correct accents without needing to do anything different on my part. --Andrew On Thu, 28 Jan 2010, Walter van Holst wrote:
