Finally I've got my Prime and have lot's of PDF's to reed.
I have tried variety of PDF readers with different results:
Adobe Reader - painfully slow to render pages
ezPDF - Almost perfect but taking few seconds to flick through the page and it's also slow to render when pinch to zoom on particular text area.
RepliGo reader - It's very fast in general but wen I trying zoom in inside document it won't give me as sharp font as ezPDF or Adobe Reader.
Aldiko - Way to slow, waste of time
Do you have any recommendation on fast to render pdf reader which will give also sharp image/text while zooming in in.
I am not seeing a difference when zoomed in with repligo over ezpdf. Have a screen of it being unsharp?
I'm using mantano and am rather satisfied.
I don't have any suggestions, but I appreciate the summaries of the currently available options. I'd love hear what you end up settling on.
You might want to try enabling "Force GPU Acceleration" under Developer settings to have faster rendering.
I did screenshot at this same zoom level.
Ezpdf

Repligo
I would love something delivering speed of repligo and quality of ezpdf.
I have tried Montano and feed it with 100 mb pdf and it's almost died on it.

For those of you using boat browser have you found a way to sync, export, or backup bookmarks? I am open to the idea of using another browser but haven't found one that I truly like and boat came real close. I like the add-on of dolphin hd but dislike that when viewing in landscape it seems to cut some flash sites without the ability to zoom in or our to view the cut portion. Also I'm not sure if I like the tabs on top.
Get the app "bookmark home"
Easy to use, works for all browsers, can be backed up and restored flawlessly

Yes. Boat Browser support backup/restore bookmarks. You can find it in bookmark page. (Or you can check screen shot.) The backup file could be imported into IE/Chrome/Firefox too.

I was having a problem displaying certain PDF's on my Nook tablet using the following apps;
Adobe Reader
Reader
Kindle
Aldiko
Quick Office lite
PDF that was kicking my a$$:
Specifically, page 23
http://www.swaroopch.com/files/byteofpython/byte_of_python_v192.pdf
Those apps would open PDF's but none of them did text reflow the way i needed it to be done. A friend of mine just got the Galaxy Nexus running ICS and emailed me the Document Viewer APK that is baked into his phone. I loaded it onto my Nook and was blown Away.
Adobe Reader with text reflow:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
ICS Document Viewer with Page view
Atached is the ICS Document Viewer APK.
Enjoy
That is so much better then the other PDF apps I have tried. Thanks for posting it for us
No problem. I really like the pinch to zoom functionality. I just wish it had those cool page previews that nook reader has.
Thanks for the app!
*sighs* to bad this doesn't work on CM7 Alpha Final because I would really like to have this app back for viewing PDFs over those others.
You should give mantano reader a try it is by far the best reader for pdf and all of my ebook formats that I have seen. It organizes everything beautifully and give many more options than anything else I have tried.

The updates for apps to take advantage of Windows Phone 8 features keep on coming. Today we get the popular BBC News Mobile for Windows Phone hitting up the Marketplace. The app is a popular way for readers around the globe to access the BBC News website in an optimized format for your device.
It’s been a little over a week since we showed you what to expect in the version 4 of the app (completely rewritten), but here is a quick refresher of some features you can look forward when updating:
Lockscreen support – Use a new picture from the In Pictures blog as your lockscreen, will update daily.
Improved performance
Support for small, medium, and large Live Tiles
New welcome experience – Walks a user though setting up the app when launched for the first time.
I’ve updated the app and already notice the improvement in performance. It wasn’t really a slouch before, but the app is really fluid now when swiping between panorama view or opening articles.
If the BBC is your source of news, this app is worth download or updating right away. Obviously, those improvements above like lockscreen support and different tile sizes will work for those running Windows Phone 8.
You can download the app right here in the marketplace

Any chance to get xap for dev unlocked devices?
I´ve installed it, great browser, musch faster then IE! Even better than Opera Mini. The only complain is that we can choose to be default one.
Sadly, Microsoft has forbidden third-party apps from registering themselves for the "HTTP" and "HTTPS" URI schemes. If we can get write access to the registry (don't hold your breath) we could make it the default browser; my HD7's default browser is an earlier version of this app.
jailbreak version:
Great bur needs support for other User Agents
Excellent browser but it is missing one HUGE feature - support for switching user agents. There are multipe web-pages that just render better if the user agent is set to iPhone / android / iPad and if this feature is supported in a future release this may become the go-to browser on WP8 platform!
Lets get this feature in the next release - please!
This issue has been bothering me for some months, now, and what few possible fixes I have found out there seem to not work to varying degrees. So, the issue I'm noticing is on my Asus TF300T, if I display a page under Chrome, the page displays properly formatted for my screen's resolution and everything fits correctly. However, if I load the same page in Firefox, regardless of how I have zoom settings configured, or layout.css.devPixelsPerPx in about:config, the most I can make Firefox do is display a page with the correct resolution once. The moment I navigate away from a page, or refresh, or quit and relaunch the browser, pages load in lower resolution once again, despite the setting in about:config still being set as desired.
Here are some screenshots to help illustrate what I mean
Chrome:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Firefox(Pale Moon to be exact):
So, my question is, does anyone have any other ideas as to how to figure this out and get Firefox to display pages as Chrome does? I know, I know, 'just use Chrome' but I actually am not a fan of how Chrome works for a number of things, also no extensions whatsoever, and all of my main PCs run Firefox, so sync is key.
Thanks for any suggestions you guys may offer and for taking the time to read this.

Bump.
I'm guessing nobody has any ideas or suggestions around this one, eh? It's a shame, too, cuz I'd love to be able to use my tablet as an actual computer and without getting my browsers to sync properly, it's the only obstacle remaining.
