I think this will work, or at least work better than using my iPhone.
The thing is, you like using Marvin. Marvin uses ePub. Kobo uses ePub. So you'd be best with a Kobo. You will get a much closer reading experience with Kobo then you will with Kindle. Also, the Kindle app on an iPhone (even a +) is terrible. The margins are way too big and that makes the lines a bit short.

As I said before, a glass backed screen can shatter when going from one temp extreme to another and I have no idea if a plastic backed screen would melt in your car in the summer.
