There's no shortage of Adobe reader alternatives out there, but if you're still searching for one and you like keeping things minimal, check out SlimPDF Reader.
Even at just over 1MB to download, SlimPDF is able to display most PDFs without issue (I don't find myself opening tons of the files anymore, but all the manuals I tested looked good). The interface is easy to get around in, with zoom, rotation, and navigation controls, and a find box (just out of view in my resized window above).
Like other Adobe Reader alternatives, not every PDF is going to render perfectly in SlimPDF -- especially more complex forms and documents. For everyday PDF browsing, however, SlimPDF is an excellent option.
