Are you kidding me??? Goodness gracious... Deleting an app a user paid for, along with all books and annotations, without notifying the user and without the ability to restore them from Apple's side, is "user error"?

You gotta be living in some alternate universe where black is white and vice versa. That statement could go to an encyclopedia under "blinded Apple fandom".

Nice to see you contradict yourself within a few posts, but if you finally recognize that this is not just a "stupid", but a vile and unethical policy by Apple, that's great.

Absolutely.

Bingo.

I find that Moon+ Reader Pro is pretty comparable to Marvin – slightly better at this point, I'd say. It still has lots of deficiencies, just like Marvin has them. Moon is dramatically better than Marvin in some key functionality, though, such as annotations syncing (even though Android-only) and themes management.

Plus, BookFusion appears to be catching up to both of them pretty nicely, with cross-platform functionality being its best asset.

If it was only about e-reader apps, I'd have dumped iPads many years ago (as I did dump the iPhone). But there are many other fine third-party apps that are only currently available on the iPad and not on Android. Plus, the iPads are better, hardware-wise, than Android tablets.
