And god-forbid I want to change a category and have to manually match Calibre and Marvin. So Collections in Marvin is dead on arrival for me. But that is not a disaster... I can use subjects instead. But look at how hard it is to set the subject consistently between my computer and marvin. I have to change it in Calibre, reconvert to ePUB to save the metadata inside, and redownload it to Marvin. If I do this for 10 books in calibre when my iPad is not around, I better remember which 10 I did it to so I can redownload in Marvin. This is aggravating.

I had this same problem, then I found the solution in a combination of Calibre, Cops and Marvin. In Calibre i set the metadata to reflect the right information. I do not convert my epubs. Then I use Cops on an Apache server to give me access to the Calibre libraries as OPDS or webpage. In Cops i can set an option to add the latest metadata to the epub. So now when i use Marvin i get the lastest metadata added to mmy book and this is what is shown in Marvin.
As an added benefit, COPS will support multiple libraries in one OPDs feed in the next release.
