Cloud Library

With the recent update, I started to think how do I easily get to any of my 2000+ book and growing library. Downloading from Dropbox and Calibre isn't quite it; and I thought, Apple figured out a good way: iTunes Match. How about something similar for Marvin?

Imagine your library showing every book available in Calibre. Any book not yet in Marvin would have a cloud icon, and tapping it would download from Calibre (on Wifi) or Dropbox. As simple as possible and would help find books I've forgotten I have.

My library is large enough and continues to grow that finding individual works and/or downloading them is getting to be quite a pain. Having to go thru similar steps to find photos or music wouldn't cut it; the same is true for books.

If it gets done, my only requests: 1. an index scroller (needed just as much as for music and sadly no PDF app has one); 2. deleting and redownloading books would keep reading position, highlights, etc.
