I’m frustrated with iBooks/Books as they bundle a bunch of cloud and purchases together and it’s impossible to organize them.

Used Marvin 3 for years but that’s not available anymore.

Anyone got some good suggestions?

Have you tried using Collections in Apple Books? I find it a really good way to organise everything.

I also like that if I open an epub or pdf in Books that it uploads it to iCloud automatically and syncs it.

I’ve tried that, but my issue is also I do not want uploads to iCloud and sync. I want my books to stay on my device without any fancy things that I can’t turn off.

You can turn iCloud off for Books in Settings > iCloud > Apps Using iCloud > Books

That way you’ll just have files on your device.
