Is there any change of MapleRead improving it's Dropbox implementation? I continue to use Marvin because getting books into MapleRead is so hard.The search function doesn't work -- there is 9 dots in a square next to the search and it is impossible to tap on search because you always wind up selecting the dots, no matter how far to the left or right you tap. I have over 7k books in my dropbox, so scrolling through to find the book I want takes forever.
Marvin also just listed all the books available and you searched and then tapped them. With MapleRead I have to open the folder the book is in, tap the book, then tap download. If I'm lucky I see the flash that means it downloaded. If not I wind up trying to do it a few times, until I remember to check the queue. It's just so clunky and time-consuming compared to Marvin.
Addendum: For example, in Marvin, if I want to download my entire Rex Stout collection, I type "Rex Stout" in the search and all the books pop up. I tap each one and I'm done. In MapleRead I first have to navigate to the Rex Stout folder. Since "R" is sort of a central letter I have to scroll through a ton of stuff just to get there. Then I have to individually open each folder to get to the book, tap the book, tap download, exit out, go to the next folder, etc. What takes <1 minute in Marvin, will take >10 minutes in MapleRead.
