eBook Reader alternate to Acrobat?

(1/6) > >>

Hello all:
Well here I am again, looking to you for some suggestions. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional, and I do a lot of reading PDF files. I'm wondering if there is another PDF reader out there that is more streamlined, slick and easy to use. I really have no problem with Acrobat, but it takes a while to load and can sometimes be sluggish. One thing I adore about Acrobat is the ability to correct the pagination (one of my pet-peeves), but other times it can be a real pain. For example, a lot of PDFs I open ignore my default view settings. I would love to have one of those Amazon Kindles, but there's no way in hell I could shell out the dough for that one. The more I think about it, though, maybe Acrobat is the best thing out there, but I would love to hear what you all have to say about this topic. I spend so much time reading PDFs that I now require an app that makes me smile every time I open it. LOL

As usual, any comments/suggestions, etc are very much appreciated.

I have no experience other pdf file readers, but you could try those mentioned there, to see if you like one of them.

Ipod Touch with the Kindle application.

Now that I have an iPhone, I use Stanza and Kindle for iPhone.

With Stanza, you can also get eReader format books from Fictionwise.  They have a really good rewards program too!
