Where's the clock when reading a book?
I hope I explain this properly so here goes. Before the last upgrade, when I was reading a book, there was a clock in the upper left hand corner. I don't see that anymore. If I touch the middle of the screen and the status bar comes up - the clock is there, but not once the status bar goes away.
Is it possible to have the clock visible again in the upper left hand corner? Is this a setting I need to fix? Not a big deal, I just really liked it. It helps especially when I am reading at night - I can just glance up and know what time it is. Thanks for any responses. |

Go to device (not Marvin) settings, find Marvin and turn 'show clock while reading' on.

Same here on iPhone 4. Just close your book, then re-open it, and the clock should appear in the top-left corner.
Note: Marvin also has an internal timer, but I've been unable to use it so far. Seeing the clock all the time in Marvin would make me nervous, so to time my reading in Marvin, and to alert me when to stop, I've been using the superb external Chronology app. |

@Shykat - You must leave and go back in the book. If you're still not seeing it it could be that you have headers and footers disabled. See this for help: http://blog.marvinapp.com/post/61406930262

It ain't "military time"
![]() ![]() That said, I agree the time indicator should be customisable. I think Kris said there was not enough space there to include the pm or am indicator, which is why you're seeing "military time". However, I think there's an easy fix for that: simply display the 12-hour clock (for those Marvin users who prefer it) without the am/pm indicator. Because: is any Marvin user ever going to confuse 6 am with 6 pm, 3 pm with 3 am while reading a book in Marvin? I don't think so... In that particular spot of the user interface, the am/pm thingy does not seem strictly necessary. For a related GitHub issue, see here. |

Not possible yet. (I guess I said that in too many words above.)

Military time works just fine for me since it's what I use at work. For me, I'll just stick with it.
