     @philmacfly: Evince. All the way. Does everything right and simple. :)

     @philmacfly Document Viewer 2*. I suits me. It's fast and uncomplicated.

     @philmacfly Evince when I'm in GTK-based desktop environments, Okular in QT-based ones.

     @philmacfly I just use the default reader of Ubuntu/gnome: evince. The only thing it lacks is the ability to add notes to pdf files...

     @philmacfly: You mean PDF? I use evince. I think it's pretty nice and quick. *shrug*

     @philmacfly Foxit Reader is definitely worth a look. Seems a bit snappier than most alternatives http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/desklinux/

     @philmacfly I use #evince nowadays, as I discovered the 'j' and 'k' keys etc. work nicely. Else #kpdf if I need to bookmark pages !linux

     @rw Evince can even read CBZ (but I use Comix for that). It's awesome, although I'm also trying Zathura out http://pwmt.org/zathura/

     @rw @philmacfly i like #okular to pdf and #kchmviewer to #chm !linux

     @philmacfly: evince

     @damascenodiego Hrm, just tried #okular; very nice. Smaller than #evince, can bookmark like #kpdf. Killer feature tho is annotations !linux

   • techwizrd GNOME , R.

     @rw Wow. I have to check out Okular then. I'm a !gnome user, and I don't like KDE's UI, but those features sound great! Evince needs them.

   • bigbrovar techwizrd

     @techwizrd There is more where that came from :P

   • R. Linux , techwizrd

     @techwizrd gnome user here also. Yes annotation seems very useful. Wish #okular had 'j/k' scrolling. Maybe evince/read, okular/write? !linux

     Saturday, 10-Apr-10 17:36:11 UTC
   • Diego Damasceno R.

     @rw the only problem in #okular is to read #chm files.#kchmviewer is better,i prefere ebooks in chm 'cause are more organized than #pdf

     Saturday, 10-Apr-10 17:36:49 UTC
   • techwizrd GNOME , R.

     @rw It might be an adequate for now, but it would be great if we could do this all in one application. I love !gnome HIG and simplicity.

   • R. Diego Damasceno

     @damascenodiego #CHM is a proprietary format, and I work hard to avoid such formats ;-) So, not an issue for me as a free/libre software fan

     Saturday, 10-Apr-10 17:44:58 UTC
   • Diego Damasceno R.

     @rw #chm and #mp3 are the only formats that i can't avoid... i have lots musics and ebooks in it

     Saturday, 10-Apr-10 17:48:01 UTC
   • R. Linux , techwizrd

     @techwizrd Agreed, I would love to see #evince get features like bookmarking pages, and writing annotations !gnome !linux

     @philmacfly okular fan here - purely because it lets you save local bookmarks into the PDF files !linux

     @sazzer Ah, Okular is awesome. I've always found it made a better reading experience than evince.

     @sazzer Oo, that's niceee. That's is very nice.

     @rw You can hold shift and press up/down it will auto scroll.Do it multiple times to change the speed. Pretty common !kde reader app feature

     @skreech2 Thanks for the tip - that is pretty cool :-) Still prefer the 'h/j/k/l' homerow solution implemented by evince, vim, and other s/w
