• After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.
The only reason I have it is so that I can snag the free app of the day. I don't even download them all. I just 'buy' the free app and download it later if I decide that I want/need it. It's sort of like the Android Market, how it keeps track of what apps you own the license to. You don't have to install to own the rights.

I'd say the small majority of then are of no interest to me, but FREE is definitely worth it.

Yep, free is always good :)

To view PDF for free, get qPDF Viewer. It's fast and has smooth navigation and searching, even on big PDFs.
To add markups that you can read on other PDF readers, buy qPDF Notes. Open any PDF, add text notes, highlights or free-form drawings, or even fill interactive PDF forms. qPDF Notes accesses, saves, and sends real PDFs (even the markups can be read in other PDF readers) via email, Dropbox, Bluetooth or SD cards.

My HTC Desire shipped with PDF Viewer as part of the ROM, which does a good job, so I have never tried a different one, but on the Xoom I installed the offcial Adobe Reader and it is really laggy compared to viewing PDFs in Quickoffice HD. I swiftly uninstalled Adobe Reader.

Read my post again. I did try Adobe Reader and it was very laggy with Android v3.2. I have sine gone GED with my Xoom and am running official v4.0.4, which included Quickoffice HD Lite, as opposed to Quickoffice HD in the European v3.2, and this is fine for my PDF viewing needs right now.
