The Only PDF Reader You'll Ever Need!
WARNING UPDATE: 01/05/12 For some odd reason, this PDF reader crashes a lot after the recent Kindle Fire update. Specifically, the app crashes whenever you're reading a PDF document, turn off the Kindle Fire (not shut down) and return later. After a short while, the app will crash and bring you back to the main document selection screen. This has never happened prior to the Kindle Fire update. The good news about this crash (if you can call it that) is that while you are taken back to the initial document selection menu page, you can pick up right where you left off by simply re-selecting the document you was reading prior to the crash and you'll be right back in business. Hopefully a future update will address this issue. WARNING UPDATE: 02/02/12 After using ezPDF Reader with the newest Kindle Fire update (6.2.2), I can say that the problem with the recent crashes I was experiencing above is no longer present. -------------------------------------- I have the Kindle Fire and the built-in PDF reader in just plain horrible. I'm not even going to go into the details but just trust me, it's not ideal for reading long PDF books and documents. Being that I bought the Kindle Fire mainly to read PDF documents and technical ebooks, I was highly disappointed. When I found out that you can easily sideload apps to the device, I was giddy with joy because I was sure there would be at least one free PDF app out there that would satisfy my needs. PDF reading apps I have tried on the Kindle Fire so far: Adobe Reader (no sideload required) Aldiko Documents to Go (no sideload required, got it free from Amazon's app-of-the-day) APV PDF Viewer There were a couple of others that I can't remember the names of because I deleted them immediately after finding out they are horrible as well. Also, there were many others I would loved to have tried but couldn't because I couldn't find the .apk files for them. Anyways, I was finally fed up and decided to pay for a professional PDF reader for my Kindle Fire. I saw the good reviews for ezPDF Reader here on Amazon and for only $2.99, I thought to give it a try. After using it for a couple of hours or so, my mission to find the perfect PDF app has finally been accomplished. No way am I going to use anything else from here on out! ezPDF Reader has all the features I could possible want and much, much more. It loaded my most heavy PDF documents with ease. I need to copy a lot of notes and URL links in my PDF into Evernote and so I was glad to find out how smooth highlighting text were in this app. Another big feature missing in many of the readers I've tried is bookmarks! Something so simple yet overlooked. Well, this app got it covered. Features like night-reading mode, text reflow, link support, annotations and even Text-to-Speech makes this killer app a must have if you're serious about using your Kindle Fire to consume PDF documents. Also, ezPDF actually remembers your last visited page and immediately takes you back to it when you re-open the app (yes, even after a shut down)! This is a huge time saver when you are reading documents well over the 800-900 page mark. With the Adobe Reader app, I had to manually scroll back to the last page I was on whenever the app closed. Forgot what page you were on? Too bad. This was the best $2.99 I've ever spent on any app. I feel bad for the users who have purchased this app only to have it misbehave on their device of choice. On the Kindle Fire though, it works beautifully.
