Best online way to demo a print magazine

Improving how a print magazine is viewed online in PDF format/format that keeps the integrity of the print version: 1) What's your favorite PDF viewer and 2) What's this example?
This is part of a larger project that reorganizes our print publication library, including back issues of our print magazine, online. We use a custom Content Management System.
The print magazine has online PDF and html formats on separate web pages. Currently, to read the PDF, you have to download it as a document and then open with your preferred viewer, like Adobe. The html version is very simple, mostly text and on one web page.
- I'd like suggestions on a PDF viewer/ format that integrates well with a website and that maintains the integrity of the print version
- We're keeping the html version for its plain-text and accessibility for sure
- Interactive PDF/viewing features a bonus: page turning, multiple pages at a time, etc
- Sending people to a 3rd party site that would host all of our publications may be too unwieldy for readers to navigate back to our website afterwards?
All suggestions welcome.
I also like this: YES! magazine uses this (click on the book). What is it/how do I communicate this to our CMS programmers?
Thanks!

Take a look at Issuu. Very easy, works off the PDF you upload and can be embedded in your site, offers page turning and thumbnail views of other pages.
