comic book reader for PDF format?

T

tingo

All my books and comics are organized with Calibre - great.
I usually make sure to buy books in epub format, and comics in cbr / cbz format.
But sometimes you can't choose - and end up with PDF format. Yuck.
For PDF documents, I normally use xpdf to view them. The problem is that it isn't a good book (or comics) reader. No or bad pagination, slow file loading and so on.
And calibre's built-in e-book viewer (which is great for epub format) takes so long opening a pdf file that I haven't found out if it works at all.

I want a mean, lean and quick PDF book reader.

So, for those of you who read books and / or comics in PDF format (on FreeBSD) - which program do you use?
 
There's also zathura-pdf-mupdf which works well for me on pdfs, epubs, and (I think) cbrs. I just don't read that many comics and can't swear that I've used it on cbr. For me, it opens right away. I have a little script, more of an alias really, but it works well for me.
Code: 
#!/bin/sh
zathura 2> /dev/null "${1}" &
So I'll run it on something with zath.sh my.pdf and it opens right away.

But for comics, you're better off, I think, using Charlie_ 's advice since I can't swear that I've used this on comics. I think I have but am not sure.
