Here we are, almost 1 year later. and still not fixed

Seeing as how Marvin was taking off in a direction that doesn't fit with m wans/needs/wishes, I've pretty much ignored it over the past 10 or months. I did see several updates come by, so decided time to check up on one of my pet peeves.

First, the bug described here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...7&postcount=19 is still very much present.

Second, I still cannot switch between day/night reading without giving up control over how the book should look from _within_ the book (a.k.a the included stylesheet).

Plus other minor peeves making it annoying to use.

So, although not with much regret (since I hardly ever used it anyways after the initial getting acquainted) I've decided to discontinue it's use. For the record, I've switched to KyBook, has built-in TTS, multiple ways to turn a page (can even use two different methods and animations without switching in config, tap sides turns page as in a real book, and swipe just slides the page). Switch between having hdr/ftr on screen and true fullscreen.

Enfin. it got all what I am missing in Marvin. Sad though, it looked nice in the beginning, but the inability to have a consistent look/feel from one book to the next (via injected stylesheet on my part) and the ability to switch between day/night without giving up that control is too much of hurdle for me.

I won't be returning to read any replies and I'll leave my forum account active to not make whatever useful or useless stuff I posted inaccessible if that risk exists. Goodbye an Goodluck

Addendum: Even if there was a chance that some day it might end up having what I am looking for, than the decision still would likely fall out negative as I just read that MarvinXD is also being discontinued/deprecated which makes the combo Calibre/Marvin also a divorce waiting to happen (just like ReadMill)

Sorry, but your ereader of choice does not seem capable of displaying fonts embedded in epubs.

MXD will NOT be discontinued. I'm going to take over maintenance for it.

That's great!
(I assume you take over iOSRA too?)

Yes, of course. :-)

And you can thank me once I've actually done something useful. I asked Greg to find someone even more stupid but, alas, as expected he failed at that so you're stuck with me. ;-)
