Hacker News Reader

I'm always happy to hear about software getting faster and smaller rather than more bloated and buggy (I had to install Adobe Reader 9.x on my girlfriend's dell Vitsa laptop and I swear it took longer to install than a clean windows installation). Kudos to the Dropbox team!

There are several smaller, lighter, faster PDF viewers. I switched to Foxit Reader for this exact reason.

And for some, Foxit is too crufty, so they opt for Sumatra, or now use Google Chrome.

Indeed. Competition in the PDF viewer space (not to mention browser) is a wonderful thing.

Or Emacs!

I needed Reader because a bank uses a form that can only be submitted online via some weird Reader PDF feature. Believe me, I don't use it for anything else.
