Best PDF reader for actually reading
I know there are lots of apps for viewing pdfs. I even have three of them--GoodReader, iAnnotate, and PDFMax Pro. They are nice for annotating PDFs, but none of them are very good for actually reading a book. The pages wiggle when you touch the screen and I hate that.
Suggestions? |

There's iBooks if you want something free. I use ComicGlass which is the same app I use for reading manga.

Pathetically slow.
I can't believe with all the reader people out there, nobody can recommend a speedy PDF reader app that doesn't gum up the works with annotations. |

Which is slow? iBooks or ComicGlass? Because I regularly use the latter for 200MB scanned PDFs and it works pretty fast for me.

There is also Adobe Reader which isn't bad but the display is scrolling rather than page flipping.

Anyway - cloudreader is the fastest I've used. Though I'm not sure how the new version looks as I believe it's moved to an ad funded model. I've avoided updating so far. An awful lot depends on your PDF file though. Both in terms of general sizing etc but also the structure and how it's been made. |

The one feature I wish were in every mobile PDF reading app is ability to automatically or manually crop margins and have that stick between reading sessions. Even on a 10" screen margins are a waste of space. |
