The e-book offerings in the iPhone just grew significantly with the announcement of a partnership between Fictionwise, one of the largest e-tailers of digital books, and Stanza, the popular e-book reader for iPhone made by Lexcycle. Through this partnership, 40,000 titles from Fictionwise.com will be made available for direct purchase and download through the Stanza by Fictionwise store accessed through the Stanza iPhone application. Fictionwise sells e-books from many major publishers, with authors such as Stephen King, Nora Roberts and James Patterson. This deal follows last week’s announcement that Pan Macmillan has made its titles available through Stanza.
