Thanks for your response, but I'm having another major problem - though perhaps it's my ignorance about the iPad.

Because the ebook I tested with Marvin was an unfinished version I thought I'd test the final version before responding to your kind offer. I was able to delete the old file, but though I could add the new version to Marvin and can see it on the list of ebooks that iTunes shows on my computer I can't see it on the iPad when it's disconnected from the computer.

Just to test myself I added the ebook to Bluefire using the same standard procedure, and can read it on my iPad. It has at least one problem also, but at least I can read it.

Anyway, the ebook is in the MobileRead library; it is The Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain.

To summarise the procedure I use:
- I connected the iPad to my Windows 7 computer, and waited till iTunes had connected and synchronised.
- I selected the iPad, and then Apps.
- I selected Marvin, saw the list of books on it, and deleted the old version - the title no longer showed on the list.
- I selected Add, navigated to the folder which contained the ebook, and selected it. The ebook appeared on the list with the right date.
- I synchronised the iPad
- I selected Control and ejected the iPad.
- I opened Marvin, and looked for the ebook but it wasn't there.

This is the same technique as I used to load the ebook into the Bluefire reader.
