Im also in similar situation. I am planning to buy an iPad and I would like to know what are the best options to read, most importantly, PDF files (large & small). According to this forum, I have been made to understand that Goodreader is a great one for iPad + the others. Question is where can I get Cloudreader? Is it that uploading PDF files to dropbox and then viewing them from iPad is the best option to get pdfs onto iPad?
