Lots of apps. But no Stanza?

I like iBooks. It handles PDFs just fine. In fact, I like it very much.

Really, and they put iBooks in the "notable apps" section...
At least Goodreader is front and center, by far my favorite pdf reader. Stanza is my second favorite. I wish all readers would adopt Stanza's amazing in-app brightness control method and global in-app screen rotation lock (that saves between files and app sessions).

Maybe the reviewer wasn't aware that Stanza came out for iPad.

Goodreader is by far the best one for me. Being able to manage all your books from Dropbox makes it the most useful for me. iBooks is great for ePub but it seems to throw the formatting if you zoom in on some PDFs.

does stanza handle pdf files? i deleted it so i don't even know. i wouldn't bother with anything other than GR. i tried ibooks but found apple's native rendering incredibly slow to open a book and scroll pages, at least with my tech books with charts, diagrams, graphics, etc.

iBooks is ok, but not great. One glaring omission is it cannot display a PDF's Table of Contents. Goodreader is the best, bar none, of the current PDF viewers on the iPad. It is one of those apps that the developer really could charge twice to three times what they do and you'd still be getting a good value for your money.
