rlagill,
You won't be able to load from iBooks into Marvin. You also will not be able to transfer from the iBooks on your iDevice into Calibre either. Apple not only hides the epub, they also explode the epub envelope back into its individual html formats per chapter, so even if you do find where apple hid your book, you'll have to collect all the different html files and then use something like Sigil.
Just bite the bullet and start using Calibre from scratch. The other thing I would highly suggest is using Dropbox as your main Calibre folder. You'll always have access to your books.
Lastly, with the Dropbox app on your device and Marvin, you'll be given an "Open with..." menu option in the app that you'll be able to send it straight to Marvin.
