As it turns out Bluefire Reader is a good solution and many others here swear by Txtr - partly no doubt since it was the only solution until a few days ago when Bluefire was released.
Hmm, I use iBooks exclusively on my iPad and have some drm ebooks from amazon and a few other places, and I had no problem reading them except for one. And that PDF was corrupted and didn't even work with adobe reader on my Mac. (redownloaded it and it worked fine.)

It seems like a lot of people are reporting various problems with their iPad or itunes that I never encounter. Is everyone making sure they have the latest iTunes and iOS and ibooks?
iOS 3.2 did fix some pdf glitches and security issues.
