I have just tried the latest version (1.1). My reading device is 5 inch samsung YP-G70 with ROM 2.2.2. As a pdf ebook reader , the edge of bluefire reader(BR) lies in rendering speed and quality. I think it is even better than adobe and mantano in this respect, and it is worth having just for this reason regardless of several bugs I'll mention . When opening a book , BR will automatically adjust page to the width of screen, and there will not be any transitional effect ,such as fading or blankness,when you drag the page up and down. You can choose choose four page-turning mode, this is a great feature, as far as I know, it is the only android pdf reader that provide this option. All the above features make reading very comfortabe for eyes.
However, there are several bugs annoying me.
First, Zoom-in operation sometimes causes closure of current book, and sometimes you can't zoom out after zooming in .
second, text selection is very clumsy, at least compared with ezpdf or mantano . Although there are selection handles,you can't move it. and the machine always vibrates when choosing text, and this behavioral can't be changed.
Third, although table of content can be displayed, BR shows all levels of TOC at once,not any cascading operations.
If the above bugs can be fixed, I think bluefire reader has the potential to become the most popular free ebook reader in android platform .
