Hi HN,
I am looking for recommendations for native software for reading and annotating pdfs.<p>text-to-speech feature would be good to have but not necessary
Maybe Polar [0] would suit your needs, I have no idea how it does with TTS. I'm assuming by native you mean "runs on your hardware not a web app". It's native for desktop OSes, not for mobile and they have a syncing service between your devices.<p>On my iPad I've long been a fan of GoodReader, again I've never tried TTS with it.<p>[0] <a href="http://getpolarized.io/" rel="nofollow">http://getpolarized.io/</a>
