Went flawlessly. Everything looks beautiful, and it's very peppy! It's only been a few minutes, so I'm still finding my way around. (Edit: about a half-hour later, I’ve pretty much familiarized myself with where everything is. Lots I haven’t tried yet, like the comic formats, but getting acclimated doesn’t take long at all.)

First tasks: find in-app purchases, to pay for the full version. (Why, it‘s right there when you start to read!) Then I'll side-load the fonts I've selected to try out.

(Edit: Just side-loaded a few fonts. Easy as pie. Works perfectly – what a pleasure.

Don’t get me wrong; Marvin 3 comes with a great collection of fonts. My long-time preference has been Iowan Old Style. But with a lifetime of doing graphic design work, I have a huge collection of my own; it’s a thrill to be able to access my personal favorites.

I was wondering how Kris was going to handle this; for any given font family, he lets you specify a regular, italic, bold, and bold-italic font. This is great, because for say, Adobe Garamond, I can select either the fully bold pair or the semi-bold pair from the font family – thus controlling the own-screen weight to my satisfaction. Really well implemented – and once you do it, it’s always there for you to select instantly.)

Thanks, Kris, for all your hard work… this is the continuation of a beautiful relationship. Woohoo!
Hi randyman - If you have time could you give me a tutorial of side loading fonts? I really need a bold font to be able to read while working.

Thanks in advance.
