I was hesitant paying $10 for an iPad app, but it's true that you get what you pay for.

I really can't say enough good things about PDF Expert. It supports tabs at the bottom of the app so you can have more than one book open at a time. It supports a page grid view so it's easy to find a page if you've lost your place. It will zoom in on a page so you don't see borders and it doesn't clip any of the text. It also supports syncing with a Webdav Page turning is incredibly fast and supports border tapping and swiping.

It supports book syncing with dropbox so all of your comments and highlights are backed up to the cloud. The interface is really clean and well laid out. This is by far the best PDF reader I have ever used. You can read PDFs with this and thats about all.

It had trouble zooming in a page and the interface wasn't that great.

The problem I had was page turning wasn't that smooth. Highlighting was ok and it the app was responsive.

For a free app it will get the job done, but I was looking for something better. Note taking wasn't that great and highlighting wasn't much better. I tried quite a few readers and read about a lot of others. I started looking for an iPad PDF reader and there are no shortage of those. Kindles are perfect for relaxation reading, but not that great for much else. You can't adjust the font size, page drawing is painfully slow and the device isn't built well for my workflow. I tried reading PDFs on a e-paper Kindle and it doesn't work well at all. Typically with technical books I end up writing a lot of comments in the margins, adding page markers with notes on them and highlighting everything. I've had a e-paper Kindle for three years and haven't purchased a single physical book since. I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about how I can transition to ebooks for programming reference.
