built-in Quickoffice viewer - fails to open some pdfs

built-in Reader app (Adobe?) - fails to open some pdfs

(The above app can be used for items not purchased from B&N only after rooting.)

BeamReader - fails to open some pdfs

Adobe Reader - opens all of my pdfs, quick page turns, no goto page function, difficult file management

ezPDf Reader - first version downloaded opened most of my files, but page turns were slow, file management was difficult, and the app would freeze occasionally. Subsequent updates have made it totally unusable.

Aldiko - opens all of my pdfs, slow page turns compared to Adobe Reader, o.k. file management, remembers the page of a book only intermittently

RepliGo Reader -- fails to open some pdfs, easy file management


Out of all these, Aldiko would appear to be the best overall, but its inconsistency in remembering the page is annoying. I'm now considering some of the higher priced viewers, but I'm not sure if a higher price means better performance and compatibility. If anyone has tried any of those, please post a review here.

To be honest with you, Repligo and ezPDF have been fine for me.
