EPUB size versus Marvin space on iPad
Hello Kris,

As my Nook sits and gathers dust, I want to thank you again for Marvin. My iPad Mini and Marvin are a great book reading team!

I have a question about Marvin's space utilization on an iPad:

I have loaded 589 books into Marvin. The total size of the epub's is 463 MB. However my iPad is reporting "Documents & Data" usage of 887 MB for Marvin.

I know that an epub is a compressed file (like zip or rar). Does Marvin utilize iPad space with the epub's UNcompressed? Does that primarily account for the difference in epub size versus iPad space utilization?

Just wondering ...

Thanks,
Marty
