I've tried to open an epub on my ipod touch and (I think) due to corruption of the file, it's "opened" the file but I just get a spinning, er, spinner in the reading section. All of the option buttons (home, library, bookmarks,, settings etc) are inaccessible (don't work).
Eventually, the app closes, but whenever I open it again, the same spinner happens. Rinse. Repeat.
The whole process has been a disaster (mainly because when I tried to "fix" it, I inadvertently allowed it to update to iOS 8.4 and now I can't connect via Calibre to replace the file).

I've tried reverting to a backup but not only did it remember the iOS update (doh!) there were no books in my library (double doh!).

Is there a way to close the ebook but keep all the books in the Marvin library?
