Erm, what do you mean by "another account"?
Are you saying you don't have a Dropbox account yet? If so, you're punishing yourself. Dropbox, in my opinion, is absolutely essential for effective use of an iOS device, both iPad and iPhone/iPod touch. (Or you might set up a cloud service similar to Dropbox, but Dropbox is the best of them all.)

Not true at all. You can directly use the converted copies from inside Calibre's folders. Just don't drag them anywhere, least of all to the atrocious iTunes -- I'm not surprised nothing works in iTunes the way you expect it to work.
Like I said before, I set up SugarSync to copy all my Calibre folders online. Using the SugarSync app, I can open the converted EPUBs from those Calibre folders directly in Marvin. No "save to disk" is necessary. (As long as you forget about iTunes, as indeed you should.)

iTunes was
never needed for use with Marvin. Not in the earliest Marvin version. iTunes is
not needed at all, for anyone using an iPad or iPhone in 2013. I stopped using iTunes in 2011, as soon as iCloud came out.
