As I said, the Dropbox API is broken in my opinion.

That's too bad.

Well, of course! Dropbox is now a big corporation, right? It almost seems like natural law: as soon as you become a big corporation, the quality of your customer support drops down to zero. Whereas here we have Marvin, created by what seems like a company of one person, and the customer support is superb. Isn't that highly ironic?
One might expect that among the thousands of people on their staff, the corporations would find enough employees to take care of the corporation's customers properly. But nope, that's unlikely to happen. Instead, it's likely for Dropbox to follow in the footsteps of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and practically every other corporation out there, in offering atrocious customer support, or frequently no support whatsoever.

There could be a check-mark shown next to a book title, or something similar, telling us we don't need to bother downloading that particular book into Marvin, because it's already there in Marvin's Library.

I must correct myself here: Marvin does indicate the presence of a book in Marvin's Library by the missing cloud icon next to the book title in the Dropbox listing. But there is no such feature while browsing OPDS catalogues, or (obviously) book websites. Not a big deal to me, only a "would be nice to have" feature.
