It would always be out of position by several pages, which is very frustrating. As Marvin is not being maintained now, the chances of a fix seem very slim.
So now I use MapleRead. It usually remembers where I left off reading fine, and it is being actively maintained. However it’s dropbox UI is poor compared to Marvin. Also, occasionally it will completely forget the reading position and take me back to the title page - this is not as bad as Marvin which loses my reading position every time.
I would use Marvin all the time if it were not for the reading position bug. Other people seem not to have the same problem, so it may be how I have my page layout configured, or because sometimes i rotate the screen orientation. This causes Marvin to repaginate/reflow and I suspect that is when it loses track.

IMHO, the latest version (3.0.4) of MapleRead is very robust in terms of remembering the current reading progress (position). So far, even occasional forgetfulness has never occurred. And there is no knob to turn to make it work well.
