Doesit do text searches? Is navigation easy (e.g. can I go straight to page 100)?

Highly recommended.
totally agree, but i think you get more battery life with an ipod touch

goodreader has what other apps lack

50x zoom! so small screen is irrelavent
Bookmarks
Table of contents support
Support for links within the PDF document
search
jump to page
refolow

this is coming from an ex-owner of

Palm TX
Sony PRS 505
Sony PRS 700

the way those LARGE PDFs run on the iphone is superior to anything I've ever used

Hi,

I want to get a mobile to read pdf and watch dieo when in car.. i tried
my friend ipod touch 32gb 3rd gen. When I open pdf
using safari and zoom.. it can't get much bigger than a certain
size.. how come there is a limitation? In the Goodreader
app with said 50x zoom... how much can it zoom much further than the
safari built in browser (I don't know how much is the maximum zoom)?

I'm also checking the Sony Satio and Samsung i8910 handyphone. But they
are not multi-touch.. meaning you can't use pinch to zoom the screen...
so i guess the ipod touch is the best for reading pdf.. that is.. the
multi-touch pinch is the best way to zoom? or maybe the
Satio or i8910 has other strenghts in the pdf reading department
that I haven't considered before? Thanks.

Pls. mention other possible devices.

Yep, many of my PDFs are A4 sized documents full of figures and tables. I really need something with an A4 screen to have an ideal PDF reader--needs stylus mark up as well.

50x is basically unlimited -- you can zoom as much as you need,
unlike with the built-in browser.
you can try this in the Good Reader Lite free version.

I'll mainly read magazines in pdf with many illustrations and colors.
I think I'll just wait for the IPAD as the Ipod seems to be quite
small for a full page magazine reading.. isn't it... what could be
the advantage for getting the Ipod instead of the Ipad for reading
pdf magazines?

It depends on how you saved them on your phone. If they're stored as emails, the iPhone's inbuilt PDF viewer should kick in and display the file for you when you tap on it in the email.

i think FastPDF is a good reader for browsing large file size magazines, even on a small screen device like the iPod Touch



But i think GoodReader just takes the cake. It is as fast and it integrates with

Dropbox, Google Docs and Box.net enabling you to read books stored there.

Cloud apps are great.
