In your personal estimation.
Your demands may be low, but that doesn't mean everyone else's demands are just as low. For example, I (and not just I – countless users) find
syncing annotations to be an essential feature of e-reader software. Hell, even the lame iBooks and Kindle offer annotations syncing (in the limited ways in which one would expect it from them).

In your personal estimation, there are "few" of them, and in other people's estimation, there may be dozens of them. Again, take a look at
Marvin's GitHub and the dozens of unresolved issues, bugs and feature requests collected there.

Kindly speak for yourself, and don't put such nonsense in my mouth. My position is exactly the opposite: I want Marvin to be simply a superb, professional-grade EPUB reader, that's all. No translation, no journaling, no note-taking, no uber-app. (I trust you're not confusing annotations with "note-taking".)
I was the first person who said that Gerty made little sense to me, given that a dedicated journaling app like Day One apparently accomplishes the same task in better ways. So, I'm arguing in exactly the opposite direction: quality software is such that does
not aspire to be "jack-of-all-trades", but that focuses exclusively on its area of interest. So, Marvin should be a superb EPUB e-reader with all the functionality expected from an e-reader, and that's it.
Also, you may be trying to "shame" someone, Dion, but I am not – in fact, I have spoken admiringly and with gratitude about Kris earlier in this thread and elsewhere. So, kindly stop that talk and stop being personal instead of discussing Marvin's status in a matter-of-fact way. Thank you.
