Unable to get any books into Marvin

Josieb1 · 10-30-2014, 12:38 PM

Hi

I decided today to use Marvin again. I stopped after the issues a few months ago when it couldn't be used with Calibre.

Anyway I now have ios 8 so I know I can't use Calibre so I thought I'd try file sharing first, that didn't work. The books appeared to have loaded according to itunes but after my sync Marvin was empty. So I then tried Dropbox, manually moving one book at a time, which is a pain. I tried with the first one and it said it was installed but the library is empty

so i tried again with the same book and this time Marvin tells me the book is already in my library. But its not. My library is empty

Anyone have any idea why I have invisable books in Marvin?

My books turned up. I did a refresh and they appeared, as it's all ten I assume it's from the iTunes file sharing. I'll remember that next time.

Edited: Since posting here, I found that both Marvin and Calibre released an update which fixed the issue I was having syncing between Calibre and Marvin. Do you have the latest versions of both as well as IOS 8?
