Thank you for the reply. Went to the AppStore and saw that the current version is 2.8.5 (or something like that) if I purchase that will I get the upgrade to 3.0, or should I wait until it is available?
As for tategaki books I will see what I have available when I come home. Most of them are from Sony's Japanese Store and they are DRMed, and I don't know that Alf's Tools will deal with those (I've so far only read them on my Sony or Sony apps, but now that I need better annotation it becomes a problem). Another problem with Sony books is that they use file names that look like tokens. It is really difficult to find the right file for a certain book. |

Unless you have iOS 6/7/8 devices, I'd wait. Keep in mind that Marvin doesn't open DRMed books.

I use Marvin in conjunction with Calibre and Apprentice Alf/Harper to read all my ebooks. Just remove the DRM and convert to epub. I have Amazon and Sony books, as well as Baen and PD books that didn't start life with DRM. |

I guess you can download Marvin, try to load a book and see what happens. |

Are you saying that Alf has retired?

To echo what Vega said, M3 is astonishingly rich in features, and they all seem to work just fine. I haven't found anything close to a serious bug - just a few cosmetic niggles. For something of this scope, that is an extraordinary achievement. Well done, Kris!

@Kumabjorn In that case you should wait. You'll be able to try out every single feature in M3 before buying to make sure it works for you.
@ChristopherTD Thanks! |

My initial impression is different, unfortunately. However, that's what a Beta-testing process is intended for, and I'm confident that together with Kris and all the Beta-testers, we can help ensure that Marvin 3 will indeed be an improvement over Marvin 2. |

Is there to be a new fee for version 3?

Definitely what Vega said @kguil. I don't own an app that is as buttery smooth and feature rich as this. Like I said on another thread, you have no competition.
That said I do have some suggestions. I'll email them to you. For now, on my side of the pond, it is 3:30 am and I'm cuddled up with a nice audiobook and I'm going to sleep. Seriously great work, @kguil. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
