The trouble is when that file is extremely long, like dozens of iPad screens long. Unfortunately, there are many mangled e-books like that out there.

Marvin currently uses filename+percentage inside the file, which should be pretty much the same as byte-count. For brief or moderately long chapters (sections = files), the sync results seem to be pretty precise. It's those extra-large sections=files that are troublesome; they may contain several chapters per section/file... It's a mistake on the part of the e-book publisher, but regular Marvin users will be unable to fix it manually.
