But Marvin goes a few steps beyond those basic import methods: it can also import books using a built-in Web browser, or it can get books directly from Dropbox - it can even automatically watch a specific Dropbox folder and import any books that appear in it. You can, of course, add books to Marvin via the traditional iTunes File Sharing panel, or by using the iPad’s Open In menu in Mail or Safari. Marvin, like most other ebook readers on the iPad, can open any EPUB-based book that’s unencumbered by DRM. (such as gestures to adjust the screen brightness or hue), and much more.
