Best Reader that works with Calibre??
Hi All,
New to this forum and site. Is there a good replacement for Marvin that works with Calibre now that I can't get Marvin in the Appstore? I know there are workarounds but just wondering if someone has a suggestion that works as well or better. Or is there a better book organizer like Calibre with a good reader? Thanks for responses. Look like there is some good info on this site. Steve |

There is nothing even close to Calibre.

It entirely depends on what you want to do. I have just made the decision to abandon all my many eReader devices and switch to apple iPads for reading and buying books. I have discovered that Bookfusion imports my entire library from Calibre and enables me to view them via the Apple system. My research seemed to show no other comparable system. Alfa library has been promising an Apple system for years, still to no avail.

I am using MapleRead SE.
The operating philosophy is somewhat different (at first looked complicated to me) but you get used to it. You can connect to calibre's Content Server and - after saving books from inside calibre to disk - you can use standard file transfer once the iPhone is connected to your computer. And there is AirDrop, of course. Series and tags from calibre are shown and accessible in MapleRead. There are 3 different versions of MapleRead, I am using the SE version. Somewhere in this forum MapleRead has been discussed as well. |

It looks like the OP is using an iPhone and given that Marvin is an iOS program, there's nothing wrong with BookFusion as a suggestion.

There are several apps that support OPDS, which calibre server conforms to: PocketBook Reader, BookFusion to name a couple (the later has a calibre plugin).
