That's what I meant, and I apologize for being imprecise. What I do, is that my Calibre library is automatically mirrored to the cloud (Google Drive for me), so I can download any Calibre book to Marvin via Google Drive. I just find it inconvenient to have to be running Calibre and Marvin at the same time on 2 computer devices in order to download books, so I prefer the Google Drive option (detour, if you will) instead.

No – at least I really hope that isn't the case. Kris said a couple of weeks ago he would set up a GitHub for Marvin 3, and while I believe we should simply continue with the original GitHub, even a separate Marvin 3 GitHub would be a better solution than no GitHub at all. MobileRead forums are a mess (good for chatting, bad for actual problem solving), and Facebook... well, that's really a tragedy as a discussion venue. For more on reporting bugs, see this thread.

I likewise have a few dozen Marvin 3 issues to report, and I'm simply waiting for the go-ahead signal from Kris, in order to post them to GitHub – old or new, I don't care. I won't be posting them here on MobileRead, because these forums are simply hopeless in terms of (lack of) clarity, and also, you get personally attacked here just because you "dare" to report Marvin bugs or express any amount of dissatisfaction. So, for me, GitHub is really the only (effective) way.

Now, as to the issue you're reporting here, I can't confirm it. I run Marvin 3 on an iPhone and 3 various iPads, I do use the "percentage read" icon badge on all 4 devices, but I have no heating issues. I remember that some folks used to have this issue in Marvin 2, too, but I never experienced it there, either. Maybe I'm just lucky – I don't know.
