I had a SE xperia x10 phone that comes with Sony modified android and it comes with lots of crappy apps that keep loading by themselves. At first I didn't use task killers and the battey was ok but after using a task killer I did notice that the battery started sucking and the perfomance get jerkier after some time. It turned out that when u forceably close the app it loads again after XX minutes and which requires processing power -> less battery. However, If your phone comes with the stock android (not a modified one) it doesn't make much of a difference because android is programmed to automatically close them.
Here's where I read all about: http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
OP: I know htc devices have an HTC pdf viewer (tried it, it's probably the best pdf viewer for androids) and notepad apps by default. if yours don't it then get: AK Notepad
