I have a series of magazines in PDF format (Home Power Magazine), which I loaded into the iPad to read, and tried using 3 different PDF readers. In each case, text came out garbled throughout the magazine, rendering them completely unreadable.

On the NC, the sideloaded magazines displayed perfectly on the stock PDF reader. They also read perfectly on a PC.

Point is, a lot depends on the source material. The iPad won't read everything.

I also have PDF material with watermarks designed not to display on newer Adobe PDF reader apps, and on the iPad and NC, the watermarks cannot be removed. I'd prefer to see actual Adobe apps on each device, not third-party apps that don't match the robustness of Adobe's app. Then most of these issues would go away altogether.
