I am new to Marvin and have only read through about the past two months of posts so I apologize if this has been asked and answered.

Is there a way to see the full length of a book, in pages or some other units? I use that in other readers, eg Kindle, as a relative thing - less important than the particular unit used is what that number tells me about how long this book is compared to other books. But Marvin tells me "pages left in chapter," so pages seems to be the unit used anyway. It seems like it must be possible to see total pages in book, and pages left to go in the entire book, but if so, I just can't figure out where that info is.

Along similar lines - is there any way to jump to a specific location/page in a book (not a chapter?)

If these features don't exist, I'd like to suggest them. Their absence is the one and only thing I miss from other readers when I read in Marvin.

Though I do have one more request/suggestion: any possibility the library Expanded view might also show the book's Collection, if any?

Thanks for your willingness to take suggestions, and for a great product - I found it when i went looking for an ereader app that allowed collections, and that's great, but also the sync with Calibre is unbelievably fantastic, and I've discovered many other features I love!
