I have both an Android and iOS tablet. I love Moon Reader. It does what I want, does it well and all that fun stuff.

I haven't been able to find a decent replacement for the iOS. Someone suggested Marvin to me however when I tried out the trial version I wasn't exactly won over (e.g. only showing 1 book in the library).

I don't want to waste my time or money getting it up and running (IMO the trial is really neutered so I'd have to buy the program) if it's not going to do what I want it to.

I want to be able to see my entire calibre library that's running off of an external server, I want to be able to download authors/books/series, I want to be able to edit metadata and have those changes reflected back on the calibre server. Are these things possible?

Thank you.
