If I had a Kobo device, then I could send books to it via Calibre from what I understand.

Whereas Marvin would be replacing the Kobo app I currently have on my iPad. I'd need to be able to send books from Calibre to Marvin somehow.

I'm not proficient with coding or extra bits of software, so just want something simple... so I think I'm leaning towards a Kobo device and direct communication from Calibre rather than Calibre on my PC, a third-party bit of software or coding and then Marvin.
