I agree about the trial. I went ahead and bought the program figuring at least it was only $3 down the tubes if it didn't work, but the trial should really allow 5 books or something.

If you click "yes" to install the included books in the trial the only book you can display is the free book you get. You can't even try it with your own books unless you go through the short yet steep learning curve on how to put books into Marvin.

I felt the trial of one book was very inadequate. At the very least the option of a free book should be disabled, so the one book you display can be one of your own. However you get no sense of what the navigation is like or how you can sort things with the one book.

As a mobileread member who saw the creator is around and is responsive to feedback I was willing to take the $3 plunge. Without that knowledge I don't know if I would have gotten past the limited trial.

Addendum: However, I can wholeheartedly recommend the program. I can't imagine it wouldn't suit your needs. I've stopped using my e-ink reader in favor of my iPad/iPhone because using Marvin is such a pleasure. I never thought I'd be able to happily read on the small screen of the iPhone, but I was able to customize the font/spacing to where it is comfortable to read yet I don't have to change the page every 3 words.
