Yes, that's true, guys. The great thing about Marvin is that with virtually every e-book I have ever opened, all it takes is a few presses of a few buttons in Marvin, and the book looks just fantastic in Marvin (but only in in Marvin) -- as if
I had designed its type-setting 100% to my liking. I know no other e-reader besides Marvin that can perform this "magic" in quite this way.
I would submit that the issue m00min talked about only becomes irksome if you have, say, 10 e-books from the same series and same publisher, who used exactly the same settings in publishing the 10 books. Then you feel like, "Gosh, why do I have to keep adjusting the same
paragraph spacing in all 10 books."
But, like Art suggests, that's a rather untypical situation. In most books you will ever open in Marvin, you will feel like adjusting its font size, line spacing, etc.,
anyway. And while you're at it, you might adjust paragraph spacing as well -- it not having been inherited from the previously opened book no longer feels like a waste of time.
