I have no idea who "ichbindasauge" is, but he has published 80 or so posts in his 7 years on MobileRead, but he just couldn't resist the urge to make his only contribution in this thread to be a reprimand of a poster who has made over 1300 posts in 5 years here, and who's been Beta-testing Marvin since version 1.
You've just got to shrug things like that off – it's par for the course on MobileRead. Whenever you post here, expect to get attacked personally – it's the price to pay. I'm happy to pay it, though, if the end result will be the improvement of Marvin.

Nonsense.
It's the syncing between iPhone and iPad that is most urgently needed for Marvin, because many users enjoy reading the same book on both devices.
In fact, ideally, it should be cross-platform syncing, while iOS-only syncing should be an obvious feature. Unfortunately, I know quite a few folks who have already ditched Marvin and switched to an inferior e-reader solution like Google Play Books, just because they can have their annotations automatically synchronized to the desktop computer that way. A friend of mine wrote me yesterday that he checked out Marvin 3, and he likes its looks, but he's going to stick with Google Play Books, because he just can't live without his annotations being synchronized to his Windows computer (and vice versa).
So, the ultimate goal should also be the development of Marvin for Windows, Marvin for Mac OS, and Marvin for Android (and Marvin for Linux?) versions, and cross-platform syncing among all those platforms. Yep,
that kind of syncing (but especially the development and maintenance of the various Marvin versions) could be more tricky. It's likely unattainable utopia.

Absolutely, Schopenhauer is a role model of mine. But I admire others just as much, for example Plato, Tolstoy, and Emerson.
