As with all things, it just depends on what you are looking for and how you like to work. The issue with Calibre and Marvin at the moment is that they don't sync. You copy from Calibre to Marvin and that's the end of the matter.

CC does sync, so if you use Calibre to organize your ebooks, then every time you change in Calibre is synced down to CC.

I have two reading devices, an iPad pro that I do most of my reading on and a iPad mini that I use for reading on the go. My current work flow is sync both devices via the wireless connection and send any new books to the devices (with the wireless connection, you have to send from Calibre to the device, not pull on the device). When I check to see what books I want to read, I use CC to select them and then read them (i.e. CC sends them to) in Marvin. I use Marvin to keep where I am in a book synced between the iPad Pro and iPad mini. It works for me. I have a reading list selected in Calibre, which gets synced down to the two iPads. That's my over all to be read list. I have the books that I'm actively reading (or plan to read next) in Marvin. When I complete a book, I just remove it from the reading list in Calibre (it's already marked as read). I update the reading list about once a week.

Right now, that seems to work well enough for me.
