I'm still confused :-)

So does CC sync anything (notes? reading positions?) back to Calibre?

Do CC and Marvin communicate in any way - e.g. CC provides Marvin with a set of books, or does Marvin copy the books from CC, and does the reading position sync between CC and Marvin?

I think what I'm trying to figure out are workflows using the 3 programs.

The CC docs don't mention Marvin and don't seem to say what it even does, and the Marvin docs don't talk about CC at all.

What I'm basically trying to work out is whether Marvin on an iPad is a viable alternative ereader to a KA1, given that I manage my books on my Mac with Calibre.
