Right.  Actually, for Safari that is OK, but I expected that the Adobe 
PDF reader would have functionality on the iPad similar to that on other 
platforms.

I have horizontal scrolling, but the point is that it isn't 
instantaneous.

OK, that wasn't one of the eight I downloaded.  I downloaded it, but 
find no tap-to-advance.  In any case, the price seems too high, even if 
I could find it, for just this one feature.

It seems strange that one of the prominent options of all other PDF 
readers on all other platforms is to page instantaneously, but that 
doesn't seem to exist on the iPad (except via Books with the really tiny 
icons).

Right, that means it pages only forward.  That's not what I want.  What 
I want is that it pages instantaneously, not by sliding from one page to 
the other (however quickly).
