Default iPad App Advice/Recommendation

I'm hoping the CP brain trust can recommend an app or two that might help with the following.

I have a library of documents in PDF form that I use on my office computer on a regular basis. It's basically like a reference library of sorts. I would like to be able to take them with me out of the office to visit with clients and the like and to access them on my iPad. I would like them to be searchable and organized more or less the same way I would if I had them printed out and put in a binder. Bookmarks, categorization, tags, etc. would be nice. The ability to highlight passages and make notes on the document would be great. Were these documents printed out and put in a binder, they would have a lot of highlights and scribbles in the margins and coloured tape flags all over the damn place.

I feel like making a collection or two in iBooks might be the best option at this point, but it doesn't quite do everything I would like. I was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations. Thanks!

Not quite what you're envisioning, but what about dropbox? Just make sure you download the files to be used offline. Otherwise, you might need to tether a phone to use it (or buy a tablet with 3G)

Organize files in folders/naming convention, do your edits on regular computers and just have the files update?

I would say OneNote if the documents weren't all in pdf. You could probably convert them all over if there aren't too many.

That's what I'd do. Costs you nothing to boot.

Or if connectivity isn't an issue upload everything to Google Drive and access it from there. Will solve the synchronization problem then too (i.e. always making sure you have the latest documents on your iPad).
