Some people on that thread said it was better? I am curious.
As a user of stanza and shubook I can confirm that Marvin 1.3 is a much better ePub reader than the other two. On the other hand, stanza and shubook will let you read a large number of formats that Marvin doesn't support.

So basically,

- for ePub use Marvin, it offers the best reading experience above iBook, Stanza and Shubook.
- for other formats use the best there is. Stanza and Shubook are pretty good. The development of Shubook is still taking place, Stanza is just upgraded to the latest Ios version.

By the way, as far as i know Marvin will let you open other formats in other readers.
