Hopefully there are some other obsessive readers here, because I literally let out a scream while I was driving. Man was I upset.

But then I found this thread... I'm quite grateful for the YouTube video because I was able to "copy" Marvin 3 from my iPad to my iPhone using the instructions.

But I feel like such a fool for not backing up Marvin before getting rid of the old phone. I have a backup but it's like a year and a half old and I've added numerous free ebooks and ones I purchased since then.

So this is a real longshot. I did a full iCloud backup of my phone before setting up the new one. Is there any way to restore my Marvin 3 library from my iCloud backup into the newly created Marvin 3 app on my iPhone?

Thanks again for the thread! I'm sure I'll have lots to discuss with other book fanatics however here are some of my favorites:

Riftwar by Raymond E. Feist
Red Rising
The First Law trilogy (and everything else) by Joe Abercrombie
Even if you backed up your old phone, you'd not get Marvin back by restoring the backup. An iPhone backup stores the app's data and the name of the app. When you restore, the backup process downloads the app from the app store and then restores the app's data. If the app is no longer in the app store, you won't be able to restore the app.
