Vertical scrolling is a pretty basic feature though. The default mode of viewing pdf's for most people, I'd imagine. A bit of a head scratcher that GoodReader hasn't added it yet. I haven't had any issues with crashes in iAnnotate so far, but I don't read very large pdf's.

It looks like I'll be getting Dropbox, too. I really want to be able to add/delete the pdf books as I want (delete when I'm finished or not interested and bring in new ones that I'm constantly finding ). I'm also looking into those wi-fi enabled HDD for this purpose. |

I'll add iAnnotate to my list of ones to look at, I do like the fast loading feature. I wonder what the limit on pdf size is for it? |

I really like iAnnotate, too, it's a really high quality app. However if vertical scrolling isn't that important for you, then GoodReader should also do the job fine.

Overall, I'd stick my vote in for GoodReader and that's the one I have on my iPad. As for vertical scrolling, I don't miss not having it one bit. It's not important enough to give up the other more important benefits of GoodReader.

Cloudreader for me. It lacks the inbuilt file management options of the others but it renders large PDF's blazingly fast and page turns are as near instant as I've seen.
I found the others (including good reader) a large amount slower. It may depend on your PDF. I read a lot of magazines so large files, full colour, complex layouts with images etc. I suspect the differences with just plain text pdf's would be far less pronounced. |

I was wondering the same myself. Most magazines use an App; which ones are delivered as PDF?

I suspect not a conversation for here but with a bit of effort you can convert delivered formats (Zinio for me) to PDF.
I have no interest in purchasing and leaving it tied up in a proprietary format etc. So it's that and then straight into Calibre. Similar to Kindle books I purchase - first thing that happens is they're 'made portable' and then ingested into calibre for management. |

Since you mention Google Books, then I would go with Papers. You can synchronize with your computer if you want to (You can check a 30 day trial on your computer to get an idea on how it works).

OK, Papers is a new one to me. Is it from Google? Can you directly download from Google books? I'll look it up in the app store, if I can find it via PC.
