eBook Reader alternate to Acrobat?
siouxdax:
After trying out various options, I think that staying with Acrobat 8 Pro is best for me. I should just keep it simple and use just one program, except for when I have to deal with djvu files.
IQLover:
I found this to be very useful! 8)

It's true, you only need to have one program to read pdf's on your computer, and that program is FoxIt. Aside from being quick, with a very small footprint, it allows you to set and manipulate bookmarks (change order, put in hierarchies, etc.), which is very useful for a big text that is consulted as a reference.
The Yahoo toolbar option is an irritant, because it's a prechecked option every time you update--you have to remember to uncheck it. So far I always have. The program itself is a jewel.
It may not be the best program for a portable device--I don't have one and can't comment.

I've used http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF-XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer with satisfactory results.

I've tried a portable version of FoxIt Reader and I nearly stayed with it. It is quite nice.
However, on starting it up, it appears to insist on setting a file association for .pdf if none is set -- and I did not find a way to get it to stop doing this. I hope there is a way...
For the moment I've decided to stick with SumatraPDF -- which does lack certain features (no text selection and the aforementioned bookmarking), but it is a better-behaved application IMHO.
