I have an iPad. There's a lot I like about
the device in general, but it
does not do a particularly good job of working with PDFs. Adobe does not
provide a reader (not surprising, given their current feud with Apple) and
the 3rd party apps are clunky at best. Little support for bookmarks, wonky
page navigation. It's a terrific form factor for reviewing documentation,
but I would currently give it a "D" as a tool for reading PDFs.
I suggest giving it some time, as it's a brand-new device. Look at
how many software deficiencies the iPhone had when it first hit the
streets; nearly all of them have been resolved. Every show-stopper that
kept me from moving to an iPhone went away one-by-one over a year or two.
Except for the awful (lack of) Bluetooth support.
But like Roger, I use fileapp and it works well for what I need.
