I'm a student and need the sort of features available in the free (Windows) PDF Xchange viewer (highlighting, search, annotation etc). Hell, some of the PDF readers I used last time I had Linux installed couldn't even SEARCH. I'm not looking for fancy advanced features, just something to let me get my studying done.
Don't be so cheap? Let's see, I spend most time studying so my earnings are negligible, yet I have to pay rent, food, tuition fees etc - why would I want to pay for Adobe anything, when I get the superior PDF Xchange viewer for WinXP for free (I already had WinXP so...). This is one of the main reasons I went back to Windows (that and lack of a decent WordWeb dictionary replacement (no, an online dictionary is not a replacement - if it takes longer than to use a paper-based dictionary, it's not progress!!) as well as other little incompatibilities which just made life harder)
