Good reader question - and is it the best PDF program for iPad?

[Totality]

Hi guys/gals. I am after a good PDF program for the iPad and people mention good reader is a good one. I'm after a PDF reader that allows you to add annotations and bookmarks for reading through large documents on the go.

I like the Adobe PDF reader, but it lacks one glaringly obvious thing - bookmarks! You can't add custom bookmarks to refer back to sections later. You can add notes, but again you can't reference them! So in a 400 page PDF, you have to try and remember which page you put notes on. Maybe I'm missing something really obvious as I would have thought this would be a core feature

On the good reader front, does it allow you to smoothly "slide" between pages like the adobe reader, or does it "snap" pages like the free ones I have tried? What I like about the adobe reader is the way you can half the bottom of a page showing as it doesnt force you to snap to pages. This is useful if you have a table that crosses two pages as you can have the top part on one page and only scroll down a bit to the next page. Snapping makes this impossible.

Anyone with good reader able to comment as they dont do a demo

It does what you wan't and does it reasonably well.

Re Pages: You can display pages either single or double but they do "snap" when changing. There is also an experimental "reflow" setting which looks to mimic the way Adobe works and iBooks with ePubs but it still snaps and is very rough to use at the moment.

Where I find GoodReader excels is the Web Downloader which can download pretty much anything then I generally send to my preferred app.

Just remembered: "Foxit PDF" does Annotations/Booksmarks and seamless page scrolling
