I tested both Marvin 3 and Hyphen 1.2 (beta), and Hyphen 1.2 meets my needs better than Marvin 3. BookMaster/MapleRead is also worth a look. Choice is good!

I never considered this, either. Interesting to see how people are using the app(s) in practice!

I've been using Marvin 2 as a kind of book repository for a while now. I love how easy it is to pick up books from my Calibre library. But for the reading experience I still prefer iBooks. I abandoned it for a while because of sync issues, but it seems to have gotten better, at least I haven't had a problem for a while now.

I just installed Marvin 3 but was disappointed to see that the issue I pointed out on the site a while ago is still there. In landscape mode with two page display, when a chapter is too short to fill the two pages, it is split evenly between them. It should fill the first page first, as in paper books. Marvin is not the only app that has this problem though, most of them do, and it makes some books unreadable. I think I'll stick with iBooks for now.

I'm not signing up for the beta, I'm too erratic, but it seems it wont be that long til release

Hi, just like to remind everyone that a new thread Marvin 3.0 is out was started by kguil in the Marvin sub-forum on June 20, the date when the public (not beta) version was available on the App Store. As of this writing, there are already 100 postings on that thread.

"Marvin 3 is on the way!" is no longer true; "Marvin 3 is out!"

Since May 21, this thread has been kind of hijacked to talk about other iOS reader apps, including BookMaster, Hyphen, iBooks (in order of appearance). Perhaps a new thread with a more general title would better serve the purpose of comparing iOS reader apps.
