I use my iPad for everything. One of the biggest uses it gets is when I am preaching or teaching. GoodReader has become one of my best friends in doing this.
Once you get a class or sermon finished, you save it to a PDF (It also works with other file types but PDF is my favorite) and get it in GoodReader. You can do this through Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, SugarSync, box.com or many other ways. I have a folder in my Dropbox synced with GoodReader so that any time I save something there it is automatically in GoodReader.
The benefit of having files in PDF is that they are individual pages you flip through instead of scrolling through a Word document. This makes preaching/teaching much easier. Scrolling tends to help you lose your place much easier than flipping through pages.
The benefits of GoodReader are far beyond simply housing my sermons and Bible class lessons. Once you have a file in your GoodReader you are then able to annotate it in many different ways. You can highlight, bookmark, make notes, underline/highlight/strike through the text, add arrows, boxes, circles and freehand lines or text onto your document. This means that once your document is uploaded, you can still add more to it and edit it in some ways.
Outside of Bible classes and sermons, I currently have the CDL handbook stored in GoodReader. As I study and see various important looking things, I can highlight or underline them as I come across each of them. Before the Freed-Hardeman lectureship I uploaded the lectureship guide and marked each lecture I intended to attend.
Other features include a built in browser so you can go straight to a website and download files directly from the web. You can enter a specific URL for a document to download as well.
Basically, if you do anything on your iPad where you will need access to files then you need GoodReader. It is available for iPad and iPhone although I have only used it on the iPad.
