It used to be so easy! Click download, open in Marvin! This one thing is what's keeping me from updating my regular, reading ipad to ios for ipad, how much of a PitA it is to get books imported into a reading app. I know it seems silly, but those clicks add up!
If Marvin is the last app used to open epub files (in Files app, long press on epub, Share, Copy to Marvin, thereafter the icon for EPUB will change to Marvin), you could skip the underlined steps: click download, close the page, go to Files, go to Downloads, click the file, and then click import

After downloading, tap on the download icon on the toolbar (right side - circle with arrow pointing down), tap on the file, Share, Copy to Marvin. Granted, still more steps than before.

That said, why not use Marvin's in-app web browser? The in-app browser downloads books directly to Marvin.
