Is there any other reader that integrates seamlessly with Dropbox and allows you to turn pages by simply tapping instead of swiping?

I bought MapleReader years ago and have always disliked it. It seems unduly complicated and the instructions to download books from dropbox are cumbersome. With Marvin I just searched on the title and my books popped right up. With the MapleReader system I have to drill down into each individual folder to find my books. It would take me many hours to put my books into the program.

My ebook app needs are pretty simple. I'm not that fussy about formatting as long as I can change the font and minimize the margins. All I really want is to be able to easily retrieve my books from my dropbox and to tap to turn the pages.
I, too, miss Marvin. I read on my iPad using the MapleRead CE and Kindle apps. Both of these will meet your requirements of single tap, margins and fonts.
May I suggest the app File Browser:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/filebr...er/id364738545

It will connect to Dropbox, GoogleDrive and several other cloud services.Then using the Share option from the list of files you can send the book directly to your reader. This app will also play music and videos. Best utility on my device. As I remember about $10 one-)time fee.
