I was using Marvin 2 the other day and now that I use the dictionary more, I was also thinking like other eReaders and eReader commercial apps, perhaps there could be a setting to by default when highlighting a word, show a bottom panel with definition. For languages I'm not so great at, tremendous utility. Plus: to repeat a request I've mentioned a few times, perhaps OPDS could later be made more simpler. Distinguishing between personal OPDS servers like Calibre, if I could access it with less clicks, if it even cached and updated in the background when I searched, or even the pull down search for my library had an option to include personal OPDS servers, if in a OPDS book list, already downloaded books were marked as already downloaded (if that were possible), some of those things I now almost consider essential. Some of us have libraries large enough, that quick access to remote libraries almost becomes a must. If tapping download didn't have a confirmation, a small detail, and also updated its status in the table row, so one could continue to browse and search during download, that too would be a nice thing.

@democrite M3 will support dictionaries (even web-based ones) in popups. I'm also looking into the "panel" dictionary. Also, in M3, there will be a special OPDS auto detect mode to find calibre servers on your local network.

Here's a list of Marvin 3.0's features for those who don't follow the blog.

Unfortunately, not (yet), but I've been arguing for the feature for years.
But I would appreciate audio annotations even more: in the annotations pop-up window, you press a microphone button and dictate whatever needs to be caputured – that's even faster than jotting down a thought, especially a longer one. And, I would appreciate the adding of video annotations to Marvin as well: in the annotations pop-up window, you press a camcorder button and record a (likely selfie) videoclip, speaking your annotation. The audio annotations would be stored in the cloud (Dropbox, Google Drive, whatever), and video annotations would likewise be stored in the cloud (YouTube, Vimeo, whatever) – only the link to download/listen to/view that annotation would be automatically inserted into Marvin's annotations pop-up window in that particular spot. (Otherwise, storing audio and video annotations along with the EPUB files would bloat their size too much.) Am I dreaming too much? I certainly hope not! You should fix your forum signature, I think – this line doesn't belong in the body of your forum messages. Confusing like hell, every time. |

I'm exploring different annotations options including both scribbling on the page and audio notes.

Hi there! Is it okay to ask how the beta is going? Not pushing. Just trying to manage expectations — like counting the days to Christmas

I'm still wondering whether M3 will import my existing Marvin library.
