It's always dangerous to judge an entire platform without first testing the best software that that platform has to offer. iBooks is not the best iOS software to view PDF or EPUB files, just like Safari isn't the best iOS browser. GoodReader seems commonly recognized as the leader on iOS for handling PDF files, so you should at least give GoodReader a thorough test before criticizing the entire platform.  |
ok, and if good reader cut the white space does such zoom stay that way through entire pdf, or you have to do zoom again for every next page, be it through tap again, or double tap, or pinch to zoom? i hope we do understand each other...some screenshots will be helpful if you can, because i don't have these programs to try...
