What exactly do you like about Mantago over ezPDF?
Personally I must say for me ezPDF and RepliGo are far superior PDF readers. They both have faster engines, renders are more accurate, and the reading flow is better. Both in pinch to zoom and zoom sticking and in re-flowing text.

I do find Mantano a touch slower on average than ezPDF (though either one will breeze through a few page turns, then chug on the next one), but I find its reflow output a lot more readable, and of course zoom-lock is not a concern in reflow because you adjust font size rather than zooming. I was also looking through a textbook last night, and found it easy and fairly quick to jump around. I've also found ezPDF a bit spotty about remembering where I left off, and so far Mantano has been 100% there.
The main frustration I've had with Mantano are page turns in PDFs, which is a problem with every PDF app--taps are not reliable at all, bringing up the menu more often than turning a page (which is still better than misread touches causing unwanted zooming in ezPDF), and swipes are more reliable but still sometimes bring up the menu, meaning if I want a reliable page-turn I have to use the volume buttons, which if you accidentally hit more than once, can jump a random distance forward in the book.
PDF is a pain in the a$$ format to read no matter what, but so far Mantano provides the most agreeable experience, particularly because it can also serve as my primary reader, for epubs.
