Ummm. Thomas you've actually missed the point 1) Read needs to be fixed. 2) Having to run an application from a terminal and drag things into the journal is not a nice user experience 3) There are probably a dozen PDF readers that would work, it doesn't mean we would want them
I understand evince is a nice reader (I use it daily on my gnome desktop) and if it works for you that's fine but its not a replacement for read. Read needs to be fixed and until it is we won't be shipping anything as default.
