We present new X-ray observations of Mrk 335 in the 0.4-10 keV band using BBXRT and in the 2-20 keV band with Ginga. The BBXRT data show a break to a softer spectrum below about 1 keV. The Ginga data show evidence for variability in absorption, uncorrelated with flux changes of the continuum source. The inconsistency between the opacity observed at the iron K edge and at softer X-ray energies implies that the absorber has an ionization state about FeXV. We suggest that the nuclear emission can be explained by a self-consistent pair cascade model as developed by Zdziarski et al. (1990) and Zdziarski and Coppi (1991), where the compactness parameter inferred from the spectral fits to both data sets is in good agreement with the value calculated from the ratio of observed X-ray luminosity and variability time scale.
