@BetterRed...thank you for the link and recommendations. I should have mentioned that I am setting up Google Drive for GoodReader only.

Here is my current setup until Marvin works with PDF.

Note: I have 345 books. Epub: 82, Mobi: 5, Pdf: 264 Total: 6GB

1. Load existing books into Calibre (each format has its own respective library,
divided by author subdirectories).
2. Update book cover, metadata, and tags with Calibre for all book formats.
3. The parent "Calibre-Library" folder is inside of my Google Drive, if for any
reason just to back them up.
4. Sync pdf folder with GoodReader
5. Sync Epub folder with Marvin, by using Calibre and hardwire sync with iPad
(Can't find a way to do this wirelessly like GoodReader & Google Drive, except
with Dropbox but that cost $10/mo).
6. When I want to read a book, magazine, paper...open either GoodReader or
Marvin app within my iPad.
7. Still trying to figure out MOBI.

Eventually, I would like to discover one app that has features and user friendly like Marvin while also offering wireless syncing to a folder on my Mac, which is also my library for Calibre (for Metadata editing purposes).
