I've recently switched from a Droid-based mobile system (Galaxy Note 10.1 and S4 phone) to Apple (iPad 2 and iPhone 6 Plus). When I was on the Droids, I used Calibre Companion, which I loved, and Mantano. Sadly, there's no CC for iOS, but I did purchase the iOS-version of Mantano.

It seems, though, that Mantano has issues with certain PDFs. I thought perhaps it's a size restriction, but after a bit of investigation, that doesn't seem to be it. In particular, I created a PDF of a bunch of scanned images, and the thing WILL NOT open in Mantano. I can see the first page, but all other pages are just a white screen, no matter how long I wait.

Any ideas what may be causing this?

Or, on the flip side, any ideas for another eReader app on iOS? It needs to handle both ePubs and PDFs, and I'd like there to be some sort of collection / tag feature. Annotations and highlighting are nice but not required. Ideally there'd be some way to share books across my various Apple devices, either through Dropbox or something else, but also not required.

Thanks!
