Background: I'm just getting my feet wet reading PDf on android, am not a fan of Adobe, and dislike touch screen navigation (I'm OK with touchscreen menu and keyboard).

Of the half dozen Android PDF readers I've tried, I am by far most happy with Adobe's PDF reader for android, especially when the margins, headers, and footers have been cropped. Scrolling is responsive and smooth. When text on the bottom have of page refers to a figure near the top of the next page, or vice versa, it is trivial and natural to see both at once. Other readers can do this as well, but it feels smoother and less fiddly to me using the Adobe reader. Using the table of contents and following and returning from internal links has also been satisfactory. I have had trouble getting stranded in other readers.

When the unzoomed font is comfortable to me, and discounting any discomfort from backlit screens, I'm finding PDF reading in Adobe android superior to epub or mobi for short stretches of reading.
