Bluefire has the ability to respect the CSS formatting of an ePub thus, when the ePub's CSS has a text indent of 0, it's respected, when it has no paragraph indents, it's respected. It means that I get an epub on screen that I can actually read.

I cannot read ePub that has paragraph spaces. That's the biggest issue I have with Marvin. There is currently no way to fix this serious issue with any of the options. So while Marvin has a lot of nice options, I cannot actually use it.

Another issue is embedded fonts. A book like 11/22/63 is much better read with Bluefire because the way the ePub is formatted, it uses embedded fonts heavily and works very well. Without the embedded fonts, might as well be reading a straight text file.

I am hoping Marvin can be better then Bluefire.
