PDF/Comic Reader Bookman Pro for iPad

by MobiRocket, Inc.
$2.99 in the App Store

Bookman Pro for iPad displays comic files well and includes a handy integrated web browser. The app, however, falls short of the top category for two main reasons: (1) it lacks sharpness with lower quality or heavily zoomed images, and (2) it does not keep your zoom setting when you turn a page. In addition, Bookman Pro’s interface is needlessly confusing, as it allows you to keep multiple libraries that don’t share files. The problem seems to be that Bookman Pro is trying to be more than one app at once and hasn’t yet integrated its different parts into a coherent whole.
