It has bookmarks, but doesn't have other annotations like notes or highlighting. Otherwise I think it is almost perfect.
What does Goodreader have for PDFs that you particularly like?
EDIT: Harry, here's what I think an ideal PDF reader should have:
--Large thumbnail navigation
--Bookmarks
--Highlighting
--Notes
--Be able to save the bookmarks, highlighting and notes to the PDF
--Be able to export the notes and highlighting to a text or Word-compatible format.
Does Goodreader do all that?

Hi Pat,
Goodreader has a shed-load of features, almost all of which I never use
.
The reason I like it is that I need to read numerous PDFs for academic purposes (I'm studying part-time for a degree in Egyptology), and, when doing research, one of the most important things one needs is the ability to have multiple reference sources open, and rapidly flip between them.
Goodreader has a tabbed interface (like the tabs on modern web browsers) and allows you to have multiple documents open, instantly flip between them, copy sections for pasting to a "master document" elsewhere, easily highlight areas of the document, quickly flip through a document by dragging a slider, and so on. It's just a great tool for getting real work done, and that's why I use it.
