iPhone Application Watch: Smashwords books now available on Stanza

Users of popular iPhone/iPod Touch book reading application Stanza will now have access to the independent online book publishing company Smashwords, with the ability to download book samples and free books, access a personal library of titles, and download full books purchased online at Smashwords.com.

All indy authors need to do to to take advantage of this new audience (around half-a-million at present) is to upload their manuscripts as Microsoft Word files, which are then automatically converted to DRM-free ebook formats. They then receive 85% of net sales plus a range of marketing tools.

As an added bonus, the Smashwords web site has now been optimised for the iPhone's Safari web browser.

There are currently over 100 books from 75 independent authors.
