I don't think that would be easily doable. If you have any familiarity with IOS then you know that apps are "sandboxed", and there is no way for apps to share easily and that would pass the App Store review.

There's only so much developers can do, witchin the restrictions imposed by Apple.

Question - I set Dropbox to be used with Marvin. I also would like to use Box with Marvin. Maybe I missed it but I don't see a way to use other services similar to Dropbox.

Comment - I like Marvin.
It would be impossible to integrate every service out there Into Marvin. There must be dozens if not hundred of different Dropbox-like services out there.

But one way to load books the they have in common, open you service (Dropbox, Drive, Copy.com, etc) in their app or via the web site, click on your book and use ios "open with..." Function. Select Marvin and it will happily add your book to the library.

This also works for virtually any app (iBooks, etc).
