Thanks, and I'm looking forward to using Marvin 3!

The MDI sounds like the setup for the Faithlife series of apps (Noet is the one dedicated for Classical studies but they are basically identical and all can share one user account. The app has a split screen for reading (you can minimize one if you don't need it) and you can have different books up or the same one book with two views.
Unfortunately, you can't import outside books (if only
) and the library management tools are far from as user-friendly or versatile as Calibre/Marvin IMO
