I thought there is at least another workaround--assigning tags in calibre, and then downloading your books to Marvin from calibre.
Not really. First, categories in iBooks is purely a iBooks thing, it's not embedded in the ebook meta data like a tag is. Categories in iBooks is simply a way to group books together. You can use collections in Marvin and Calibre to do the same thing. If the information is embedded in the tag metadata, then both Calibre and Marvin will pick it up and put it in the tags field.
