Ebook reader for iphone 5 - need to import my own without shennanigans

[Helaman]

I've been up MOST of the night trying to get my 300 odd epubs into my new iPhone.

I did have Stanza at one stage but when the phone died, so did that app and its no longer supported.

I don't want to have to email files to myself or use dropbox - it shouldn't be this hard!

I tried Marvin, the mechanism seemed to be the same - open the app in itunes. Drag into the app. Sync.

result? from 300 odd files it recognised ONE. My library was empty apart from that one. That was the most successful.

These files ALL worked in Stanza - buggered if I can find an app that will work to replace it.

Any help appreciated.

ibooks, it will read any epub

yes but how do I load all my 300+ epubs into my phone?

I have had really good luck with using iFunbox to move files directly back and forth on my iPad. As long as you get the files in the data folder ibooks uses, it should see them.

It seems it needs dropbox etc or other round about methods to do what Stanza did all along

I keep all my eBooks in a single folder on my computer. I dragged them all into iTunes, checked the "sync all books" box at the top and synced my iPad. Everything went in just fine.

Ok - now we are talking. What reader do you use? What do you mean by dragging them into iTunes?
