Marvin offers around 90 pre-installed background textures for now. I agree that custom background textures are essential, so I hope they will be added later on.

Yes, Marvin has that, and its brightness control works far better than in Moon+ (seems very glitchy in Moon+ -- I often need to bring up the brightness button in Moon because the swipes up/down do not register reliably on my Nexus 7.2).
It's not about UI for me at all -- it's all about functionality. Marvin's rendering of e-books is far superior over Moon+'s. Marvin is far more precise in terms of respecting the original CSS, while still giving the option to the user to customise its display almost at will. Moon seems to be refusing to display small caps, for example, or it ignores CSS properties such as margin-top and margin-bottom. Simply put: the same e-books look much better in Marvin to me than in Moon. (Apart from my custom background textures in Moon, which I like a lot more than Marvin's selection of default textures.)
The no. 1 selling point of Marvin for me are its annotation capabilities -- an essential feature of an e-reader for me. They are far superior over Moon's annotation capabilities, although not yet ideal in Marvin, either.
Last not least, Marvin does have a public bug tracker, so that it's easy to request new features/report bugs to Marvin's developer, and monitor the resolution of all those requests/issues on an ongoing basis. |
Sounds like it still has some time before it can compete. I know Moon does not do CSS correctly most of the time but all I read are Fiction novels so it's not a issue with me. As long as it displays the italics and bold text I'm good.
