I only use the plugin if I plan to transfer lots of books at a time. I mostly just use Dropbox (or the Copy app with the Open In function).

My Calibre is still at 1.48; I'm afraid to update

It connects almost automatically.
Open calibre and turn on the Calibre server.
In Marvin choose "Get books", then "OPDS", then "Search local network" then "calibre server". It should connect.

I use dropbox because I can store a number of books there and not have to use the space on my iPhone or iPad. So I only store the books I am actually reading in Marvin and the rest sit in dropbox.

That's what I'm going to do from now on. I deleted the app to get rid of the 700 books on it as I'm now on 2.01 (which I needed for my Kobo) then reinstalled and added 4 books via Dropbox.

I do like to read in Marvin but as I mainly read on both an iPad mini and a Paperwhite I use the kindle app for whispersync. The only time nowadays I use the books in Marvin is to feed into voice Dream when I want to listen and not read.

Voice Dream is an apple app that can read DRM free epubs back to you. It has a built in voices in various languages or you can buy voices. I've bought a few.

Once the app is installed on your I device if the ePub is in Marvin you can go to it and select Share, then open the ePub in the Voice Dream app. Then Voice Dream can read it to you.

The support page says it can also read PDFs as well as plain text, word, HTML etc. This is the support page http://www.voicedream.com/?page_id=80

Looks pricey but good. I wonder if it can access GoodReader for the PDFs

Yes it can. I downloaded Goodreader, loaded an ebook PDF and opened Goodreader, from within the PDF you select 'open in' and Voice Dream is an application you can select. The PDF is then copied to Voice Dream and can be read to you.

I tried the Lite version and liked it so I bought it. Very neat app. Thanks for sharing

When I transfer my books to Marvin on my ipad mini, using Dropbox in the past, there was no tag information included.

That's the biggest plus I have about using Marvin from Calibre, is that my books can be sorted into my Collections by the tags.

Can I do this by Dropbox now? I don't want them all in one file on Marvin.

Marvin reads tags from *inside* the books irrespective from where they came. If the book didn't show tags when imported from Dropbox it is because the EPUB itself didn't have the tags.

Thank you for mentioning this!!!
The lite version gave me a preview and the full version looks fantastic. So many options it will take a bit of learning but works great.

It would seem that many on this forum would be interested in Voice Dream. Is this something that is just new to me or are there many who need to be informed?

I put the collection name in the Tag collumn, and either covert the story from epub to epub, or use Polish books to update the metadata.

The tag column only has one tag in it.

When I send the file to Dropbox, then download on Marvin, they always go into "Uncollected" on Marvin.

I've got it set up so that it sorts into collections fine when I connect to Calibre.

If converting isn't setting the tags, what will I need to do to get the tags inserted properly?
