Have you read the Overview page at Maplepop's site? http://www.maplepop.com/web/mr/overview.php
They tout the SE/CE bundle for split view multitasking. |

I have the SE version on both iPads and on my iPhone. I wanted something that could handle both ePubs and PDFs as a replacement for that piece of junk iBooks. Sorry, I can't help with the Split View as I don't understand why there would be a need, myself. My eReader usage is very basic: just reading the books; no notes, annotation, etc. |

I am using SE. I have a rather large library on Calibre, which I access/download using the ‘Exchange’ OPDS. I have noticed a few things that I am not sure if they are due to “user error”, or bugs…or, simply, requests for additions/improvements.
When I first look at a book in OPDS, I see the cover, tags, and (Calibre) description of the book. Once downloaded, there is the cover and the tags are in the index of tags, but I can find no way to see/read the Calibre description. Second, if, by accident, I go to download a book already in my SE library, it downloads a second copy. There is no warning or indication of this. Last, I often switch between my iPad and iPhone. If I forget to manually sync a book, I am out of luck when going to other device. Is there no way to have it sync automatically when closing. |

Just found an interesting youtube link from MacBreak Weekly for those who are new to MapleRead.
MapleRead SE is their Pick of the Week. |

I’ve been using MapleRead SE for a long time, and this is the one thing that drives me back to Books or Kindle app. I really wish it would just sync like the other apps do. I rarely remember to press “Sync” and I’m constantly flipping between an iPhone, an older 11” iPad Pro, and my M2 12.9” iPad Pro.

Is there any change of MapleRead improving it's Dropbox implementation? I continue to use Marvin because getting books into MapleRead is so hard.The search function doesn't work -- there is 9 dots in a square next to the search and it is impossible to tap on search because you always wind up selecting the dots, no matter how far to the left or right you tap. I have over 7k books in my dropbox, so scrolling through to find the book I want takes forever.
Marvin also just listed all the books available and you searched and then tapped them. With MapleRead I have to open the folder the book is in, tap the book, then tap download. If I'm lucky I see the flash that means it downloaded. If not I wind up trying to do it a few times, until I remember to check the queue. It's just so clunky and time-consuming compared to Marvin. Addendum: For example, in Marvin, if I want to download my entire Rex Stout collection, I type "Rex Stout" in the search and all the books pop up. I tap each one and I'm done. In MapleRead I first have to navigate to the Rex Stout folder. Since "R" is sort of a central letter I have to scroll through a ton of stuff just to get there. Then I have to individually open each folder to get to the book, tap the book, tap download, exit out, go to the next folder, etc. What takes <1 minute in Marvin, will take >10 minutes in MapleRead.

I don't understand. There aren't any 9 dots in a square near the search bar on MapleRead SE 5.6.2. I don't have any problem adding books to MR SE via my web browser, and my ENTIRE library is loaded in it on my iPad Minis 5 & 6.
