The old issue rears its ugly head again...

"About Marvin" is there on the "General" tab. You simply need to scroll downwards. (I know... it's not obvious that those panes are scrollable!)

Well, if Settings Themes are implemented in Marvin like outlined above, you'll be able to do so.

No, definitely not, trust me... You were lucky to have it work for you with your particular books in your particular e-readers... For me, Stanza was not always remembering font sizes neither between various books, nor between various readings or the same (!) book, which I found extremely frustrating. Marvin is the first e-reader I know of which keeps settings 100% sticky between readings, and sticky not for the app, but for each individual book, which I find crucial.

Again, Settings Themes would be your answer. You would simply modify your default Settings Theme, and that change would then be automatically visible in all books.

I'd be extremely upset if Kris removed the current way Marvin treats e-books: with individual settings for every book. Like I said, that's one of the smartest features currently offered by Marvin; a unique feature.

Or, to oblige both of us, perhaps Marvin could offer a switch: "Remember settings on a book-by-book basis? YES/NO" You would select "No", while I would keep it at "Yes" (the current way Marvin operates), and everyone would be happy.

Definitely. But please understand I may not wish to see the same settings for each and every book. That is just your wish. I find that depending on the type of book I'm reading, a (slightly or not so slightly) different typography might be preferable for book A, book B, book C, etc.
