Popular Apple iPhone ebook reader, Stanza has just been given an update according to justanotheriphoneblog. Stanza version 1.8 now gets a sexy new icon along with several other changes and upgrades.

Some of the changes with Stanza v1.8 for the Apple iPhone are…the ability to adjust brightness by swiping the screen up and down…page bookmarking now added…now support themed backgrounds…get word definitions without having to exit the app.

That theme support looks kind of cool as you can use your own picture if you wish, but just why anyone would want to change from a white reading background is beyond me.
