No, it is iOS only. I believe there may be a general plan in the works to port it to Android, but Kobo runs linux as an embedded system so Marvin will never run on it.
The locations use mutually incompatible formats.
Syncing locations across multiple platforms remains, as ever, the
elusive holy grail of ereading.
I think the Kindle comes closest, with a Kindle app on iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac, as well as their own brand of e-ink ereaders, and the ability to email books to your Kindle Cloud.
What kills it is that for your own books emailed to send-to-kindle, you cannot download them on Kindle for PC (and maybe not to Kindle for Mac either, for all I know).
