Dumb Question ...
I Googled "Marvin Reader" to see what info was available outside of MobileRead forums.

Dumb question on my part !!

Got MANY hits from sites similar to people-finders, people-search saying "we have found Marvin Reader ... he lives in this state ... only $2.00 to see his criminal record ..." !

Classic G-I-G-O!

What did you expect putting in a person's name?

$2 for a criminal history, what did Marvin do? Grab the wrong female book?

Try searching for "marvin ebook reader for android". Or IOS if that's your flavor. You'll get lots of good hits.

Just wasn't thinking about people being named "Marvin Reader".

I gave my first car a name and referred to her as a person, but that's another story for another day!

That's ok. I named my small appliances. I wouldn't have thought of Marvin Reader as a person either.

It woudn't have occurred to me either - I've never heard of "Reader" as a person's name.

My first car was a 1969 blue Ford Mustang. I called him Marvel. [ for you youngsters in the forum, way back when, there was a rocking horse called Marvel the Mustang. (Marvel, the mustang, he's almost for real, just saddle him up with spurs on your heels...geeze it's funny how some of those jingles stick with you over the years)]

Many years ago, a college buddy in the dorm had an older sister who graduated. She bought a 1964 blue Corvette Stingray to celebrate getting a job with a big accounting firm in Atlanta. After seeing her 'Vet, a dozen of us in the dorm proposed marriage!

She laughed (or did she snicker) and drove off. The 'Vet sure looked good going down the street!
