if another app has registered to open that file type, just press and hold it in goodreader. you'll get a pop-up menu asking what app to open it in.
Yeah and you can mail the file by goodreader everywhere you want to, i.e. if you use evernote you can mail it to your evernote email and you can share the file on any other device you have like windows mobile phone, MAC or a windows PC.

Or you can mail your downloaded *.mobi files via iPad to you kindle this is what i did on vacation before the kindle got open internet access.

Goodreader is one of the best apps i know on iphone and iPad
