You can use

- the built-in web browser allows you to access almost any website (e. g. some random cloud service) which stores your ebooks.

That's
not what taguntumi and myself have in mind, Wulf. We'd like to have the same very nice user interface offered by Marvin's Library
now, except that (most of) the book files themselves could be (optionally!) stored in the cloud, instead of locally as now. Look at the Kindle app: two Library divisions there -- one for "files on device", another (with the
same interface!) for "files everywhere" (device + cloud). That's what I'd like to see in Marvin, too.
Of course, this is easier said than done. Kindle is a primitive app, so with the limited functionality the Kindle library provides, it's easy for them to achieve what taguntumi and myself would like to see in Marvin. (The Dropbox, OPDS and web browser interfaces are
completely different things.)
I have posted taguntumi's suggestion to GitHub:

You bet!
The best proposal on this, by far, was made by our fellow user Artbatista several months ago, see here:
