Neither the plugin not Marvin ever modify the EPUB file (this is by design). To reimport your *.mrv files into a book in Marvin, send that mrv file to yourself by email, open it in Marvin and Marvin will add the highlights, notes and whatnot to the book. Note that *.mrvi files cannot be imported in Marvin. .mrvi is just for export (for now).
Just send them as an attachment and "open in" Marvin (remember you can only do this for .mrv not .mrvi).
Yes. I made a note of this.

Kristian,
Mystery solved. I usually use GMail; it does not allow you to proceed to Marvin [you click on the attachment and it offers you to open in Chrome, etc.]. HOWEVER, this worked perfect in Apple Mail [that comes on the iPad]. Clicked on the attachment, it said "loading" for a while [long time, actually], so I clicked on the arrow on the top right and "boom" put me right into import into my book in Marvin (to merge or replace my current annotation file of the same blank book).
Reopened the book and all my highlights/bookmark were BACK. This is AWESOME - what a time saver, productivity tool, and safety net. I assume that my friend will also be able to repeat on his copy when I email him the MRV file and then he will have "my" highlights/bookmarks in his copy of the EPUB / Marvin book. He can skim in 1/10th the time and focus on what I want him to focus on.
Kristian - you are ACES in my book!!!!!!
