Is Adobe Reader Touch a worthy alternative to other PDF readers for Windows?

Adobe Reader Touch brings the magic of the Adobe family to the app fold of Windows 8. If you’re looking for a way to get more from Adobe products in Windows 8, using the Adobe Reader Touch is a worthy alternative to standalone PDF readers for the operating system.  Windows itself has a built-in PDF reader in its XPS Viewer, but for Windows 8 users looking for a more Windows 8 feel to reading PDFs, nothing comes close to Adobe Reader Touch.
