I did some searching and found a lot of discussions about the legality of pdf's and the usefullness of tablets as gaming aids, and I would like to avoid those topics by asking: does anyone recommend a good e-reader for the iPad that is better than iBooks?

I have been searching for an app that has more bookmarking, highlighting, and saved search options.

I have found the iPad to be a great space saver and reference tool during games but I think it's functionality can be improved with a better e-reader app; or I will need to abridge material for faster queries. If I can bookmark with different colors for example and highlight text, then I might not need to take the time to edit and condense material.

One e-reader I was considering was "Best PDF Reader" ... if you own and use an iPad, do you have any suggestions?

After further searching I discovered Good Reader, it looks like it has all the functions I was searching for and it has good reviews - too bad it's $4.99 though - but, if it saves as much time as I expect it will, then it will be well worth it.

I use Bookman on my iPad, it's the best I've found and well worth the price. It's a PDF reader and several other formats.

I use Stanza on my iphone, im sure it would also work great with ipad.

Not sure of the exact name, but it is along the lines of Cloudreader
It works really well with PDF's, and can even read CBZ and CBR
And it's all free!
