@vs40, @kyteflyer - a couple of tiny issues cropped up mid this week and I wanted to get them fixed before a public release. I'm hoping to ship next week.
@democrite - I suppose we can both agree that both an in-book banner, and a limited size library make *any* ebook reader unsuitable for long term use (although I myself find the banner less irritating). The difference is that with a limited size library, there are many features that people cannot try. For instance, collections, sorting, searching, recent books, and pretty much all library management functions. With a banner, they can try every single thing that Marvin can do without restrictions. All in all, I think the banner gives readers a "preview" of what the app can do. Put another way, it is possible to manage and read any kind of library with the banner, but it is impossible with an artificial limit on the number of books you can load.
Also, Marvin 2's free version worked exactly like that - a limited size library, and it was a consistent source of complaints. In version 3, I'm trying to address that.
