You can use these apps to view PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, spreadsheets, plain text, and rich text formats. The app intelligently resizes documents for viewing, and double-tapping zooms as expected. Pagination and scrolling is well done and both apps come with the ability to search through them from within the applications.

Problems with memory-management depend on how many other cards you have open on your Pre at the same time. Even with only two other cards open, the apps start freezing up with a 7Mb powerpoint file and also with a 4Mb PDF. No doubt these issues will be ironed out in future iterations. The PDF view application can definitely double up as an E-book reader app until a 3rd party application comes in with a dedicated one. We hear there are several in the works.
