So 147 views and no one knows how to get a pdf files to the iPhone or iPad without emailing yourself? I think with Kindle you can just drag files into folder... if it can't be done then iPad=FAIL as an e-Reader.
I use an app called "GoodReader". Drag and drop PDF files into iTunes and they sync to the app. Once there you can create nested folders to organize things however you want within the app.
I've got about 100 various pdf's on mine now... From simple one pagers... To several hundred page books... Some in color and with huge graphics. It handles them just fine.
I actually like it better than Apple's own iBooks app.

+1 for Good Reader. it's better than many other 3rd party file browsers-readers for pdf files. I have all the local bus schedules as pdfs on my iPod Touch.
I haven't tried how it handles other file formats.
Another vote for GoodReader. The interface isn't wonderful, but it fills the bill until Apple includes this feature, which I feel certain they will at some point.
So there is no mobile "Finder" and no way to make folders you can put files in to on either? If so that is weak.
You can use iDisk (iDisk App) or Dropbox for cloud storage. On the iPhone/Touch they are apps that will give you access to the files you have stored in either location. (The iDisk App will store a preset amount of your latest accessed files. I do not know about Dropbox.) They iPhone/Touch will display any file type that Mail or any of its basic apps can display. PDF being one.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot!

It's not weak, it's just different.
