Yes for me also, if you vertical scroll it works to the end of the section then you have to use contents to get to the next section

That's my next try when I have a moment I think

FIX: Go into the Aa settings and turn ON the "Uniform text size" selector. That will allow adjusting text size, but it also messes with any css that would increase font size, such as initial drop caps.

- In paginate mode tapping on the edge of the screen to go forward/back will zap to the beginning of the next or previous chapter. You will also be stuck within a two chapter range and not be able to read anything but the first page of the two chapters...

FIX: Select "Vertical scroll" in the PAGE LAYOUT section of the book settings. I actually prefer vertical scroll as I can set an auto-scroll and adjust the speed to my reading rate with a simple gesture - no more "tapping thumb"!

It seems like these issues might be book specific. I’m going to try to run the problematic EPUBs through Sigil and see if that might fix things.

I noticed some of my books worked fine on iOS 26 Marvin while others were stuck on the first two chapters. The problem epubs all came from the same source (and all seem to be created by Calibre). To see if it's possible to make them work, I ran a couple of them through Sigil.

Test 1
Sigil gave a not well formed message for the epub upon opening and fixed it automatically. Sent the fixed epub to Marvin but nope, still didn't work.

Test 2
Edited the epub some more.
Tools - Restructure Epub to Sigil Norm
I also noticed it had two css files. I deleted one which contained just the following code and removed all references to it:

@page {
  margin-bottom: 5pt;
  margin-top: 5pt;
}

Sent the fixed epub to Marvin and it's now working as expected (including both font size and pagination)

Test 3
Tested another problem epub. Sigil did the auto-fix for not well formed documents. This time I only removed the @page css file. The second epub is also working as expected in Marvin.

Tested working on the iPhone SE2 (2020) iOS 26.0.1 and iPad 9th generation iPadOS 26.1 dev beta.

So at least for my problem epubs, there's a fix available. It's just a bit of a hassle to fix them via Sigil one by one. I think I might try if I can do a batch delete of the extra css file using 7zip and see if iOS 26 Marvin will accept that.
