Very well, as I alluded to earlier in this thread, but once again, you failed to read carefully. So to repeat, I don't wish to brag, but quite a few popular features only exist in Marvin today because
someone insisted that excellence should be our goal, not appeasing "regular users". For the mediocre stuff, there is Apple, Google and Microsoft. We should aim higher.
Terisa, I'm surprised you mention formatting as a weakness in Marvin.
It's likely
the prerogative that keeps me attached to Marvin despite all its shortcomings – I mean, just how nice books
look in Marvin, and that I can adjust their looks just as it suits me. (You likely mean something else with "formatting".) It's the thing that got me hooked on Stanza originally – that Stanza allowed each reader to be his or her own typographer. And Marvin is just the same in this regard.
