If you still have the older version which no longer supports Dropbox, you can use Calibre's built-in content server to transfer books to the iPad.

P.S. Managed to find Marvin 3's release date (2016). That iPad definitely has the older version.
I have the Marvin red icon.
I just looked in the app store and see Marvin 3 (the M is red, orange, green, blue). I just installed. How do I get the books (61 books) from the old Marvin to the new Marvin 3?

I connected to Dropbox and got the two books from there. That was straightforward....

I've tried to find the dummies documentation for Calibre's built-in content server but so far no luck. It seems that it would be easier to use it rather than going through the Dropbox. Currently, I have Calibre installed on my widows 10 desktop, my wife's windows 10 laptop as well as our mobile devices. In that she has several books most likely it will be a few months before she needs to get more.

How do I remove books from Marvin 3? Currently, she has only 2.49 GB of free storage. Thus she has room for a lot more but at some point she will run out of space.

Time for bed... MUCH thanks!!!!!
