The free version of Stanza is good for reading EPUB format on iphones.
Stanza has two app versions, one of which is free.

cheers, Martin.

Couldn't get it at all on an unbroken iphone.

Safari fails when following link directly from email.

iphonebookshelf (free version) fails, because it seems incapable of
grabbing a single book - it needs a "bookshelf". Adding both
http://objavi.flossmanuals.net/books/collaborativefutures-en-2010.01.26-21.56.12.epub
and http://objavi.flossmanuals.net/books/ as bookshelves fail with:
"Operation could not be completed. NSXML ParseErrorDomain error 65"

Amazon Kindle app fails because when you first open it you need to log
in and I'm too lazy

i2ReaderLite (free) fails because it comes prefilled with books and I
don't think you can change them unless you upgrade.

Anyone have any tips for reading epubs on iphone?

cheers
