Hi All - bear with me, I'm completely new to ebooks. Firstly, Marvin is AWESOME - my 5 star review has been submitted
. Maybe that bias is because my introduction into ebooks yesterday was ridiculously painful. I purchased a book on Kobo that wouldn't appear on its app in any readable state - being sure it was me, I turned to their help desk, but they thought reading from a script, saying sorry we don't know what to do and offering me a refund this morning is troubleshooting... anyhow, a few searches, some help from Apprentice Alf's Blog, Calibre, Marvin and Dropbox and I'm in a far happier place with the Kobo app filed away as an absolute contingency only.
I'd like to use Marvin/Calibre/Dropbox to store, read and annotate the business books and journal articles for my postgrad studies. It would be great to have all my reference material accessible via Marvin, but a shortcoming was that some of the journals are in PDF which the calibre converter did not like at all (the text and html conversions are fine enough on Marvin) - any chance that Marvin will read or store pdf some day? Even if it just kept the file but launched it in a reader like adobe (much like dropbox stores, but does not read epub). I know it's a lazy request, but I seem to think the next update will have better filing/categorsation and it would be great to have a "Postgrad" folder/category in Marvin with all my reference material (PDF or epub)! Also, what are the chances of having a sister iPhone app - it would be great from a purely accessible standpoint, I can't see myself reading hours and hours on an Iphone, but it would be sooooo handy when I need to quickly refer to something while assignment writing. Cheers and thanks again!
