Thank you for this great application that I use with pleasure. I'd like to be able to read the PDFs in my collection, but they're not stored on the Zotero server, but in a local folder on my phone/tablet. Are there any plans to develop such an option? Thank you in advance.
I’ve relied on Zotero every day for the past 15 years—from my own doctoral work to supervising graduate research—and I actively promote it to every cohort of university students I teach.
I’m about to switch to an Android‑based e‑ink tablet as my primary reading device and would love to test the Zotero Android app so I can annotate PDFs in Zotero’s native reader, keep my library in sync, and (of course) report any bugs or UX issues I find. Having the official app on this tablet would also be a great showcase when I introduce Zotero to incoming students next semester.
If a tester slot opens up, I’d be grateful for the opportunity to join the beta and give feedback from both a heavy personal workflow and an instructional perspective.
Thanks for all your work on Zotero—and for considering my request.
Offtopic: @xbarandiaran, then the Chinese eReaders from Onyx BOOX are the (to) only option. Where other eReaders write their own OS, Onyx BOOX addapts an (older) Android version. Due to their hard- and soft-ware setup, these devices can only be updated to a recent version of the same Android, but not upgraded to a newer Android version. However, you can use all Android apps on that device. Choose for a colour eInk reader, when you prefer colour. Also read into the disadvantaged of an eInk, because maybe a normal tablet is a better alternative. Source: I am a TabUltra user myself, with Zotero for Android on this device...
