How come i cant find Goodreader on Cydia? I found GoodReader on app store for $1. I dont mind paying for that App but I thought if I have Cydia I can get all the Apps for free or am I wrong?

I reason I want GoodReader is I have some PDF version of textbooks and I want to view it. Or is there any app better than GoodReader?

Thanks
 
Why not get something like Stanza from the App Store? It's free and will read several different formats. It works in portrait or landscape mode and allows you to change font style and size.

Spend the $1, the Good Reader app is worth ten times that. Don't you like to get paid for your hard work? At least this dev deserves it.

Just don't pirate dude, it gives all us jailbreakers a bad name.

You are wrong. Cydia is for distributing apps and iOS system modifications not approved by Apple, not for getting paid apps for free. A lot of stuff available through Cydia are free, but some are paid, just like in Apple's app store.

If your asking how to get piratied apps you've come to the wrong place, my freid. A lot of people here write legit apps for the app store.

Cydia is about using Apps thart apple has not approved for what ever reason and trying to expand the capacity of the iDevice platform, not ripping people off.

Jailbreaking Is Not For Piracy.
