Possibly - but imagine - with the dirth of apps on Windows 8, Marvin would be the flagship of ereader apps! It would get noticed and spring-boarded into industry leadership! Really - iBooks is nothing to talk about from a technical standpoint, but a huge number of people use it because it came with the ipad/iphone. Once people start using something and get used to it they tend to not want to change. Likewise, if they start using Marvin as a windows ereader app, then it would be very difficult to kick it out of it's place of prominence. Any competing ereader would have to be orders of magnitude better for them to change - and I don't see that happening with the feature set Marvin currently provides - let alone the planned feature upgrades for future versions.
If Kris rethinks his decision to keep Marvin free - which I highly recommend; he deserves to be compensated for his outstanding efforts - he would have found the pot-o-gold at the end of the rainbow!
