Goodreads amongst tons of other apps is a great reader that does reflow pdfs, auto cuts margins, searches, etc. etc., with really a wealth of options as well as interfacing with servers, wifi networks and the cloud. There are plenty of other options to read in your language too, I am sure there should be an app from that? Are you asian? I 've seen quite a few asian reading apps.
My question, boils down to this. If I have to circumvent so many things just because flash sucks and I need to play games on a tablet; why not just get something where you' have to adjust to only one thing?
I am not looking forward to flash games; I want to be able to watch anime etc on websites like dailymotion, megavideo, metacafe etc. If I were to keep using my iPad, when such links pop up, I am having to move back to my pc. And I have a lot of youtube videos that won't play because of some API appendages that the default app does not recognize. I am having to copy-paste and modify the url with that silly magnifier all the time. May be your browsing pattern does not call for any of this. Once upon a time, there were no good tablet and the iPad ruled. Not anymore, not after android (which sucks worse than iOS imho) started saying openly that they are not shunning adobe.

Of the top 10 most grossing apps on the iPad, 5 are office suites related, and another that is a VNC. I don't think there is any explanation to that other than the fact that people still want everything that they are used to on a desktop when the form factor is any bigger than a standard smartphone. I rest my case here.
