You probably received a few emails about this already, BUT, according to the LA Times, Apple didn’t request Stanza to remove the USB syncing due to ebook competition, but apparently due to an API violation: Basically, there are no public APIs that allow for USB syncing. Stanza was using a private API in violation of the agreement. Anyway, FYI. Hi buzz crew, CreateSpace gets them halfway there! Is it too late to make a prediction for 2010? If not… They could charge whatever they want and give writers a larger percentage of the sale price because there’s no middle man.
