Available for beta testing on iOS: EPUB/snapshot support and PDF metadata retrieval
In the beta of Zotero for iOS, we've added two major new features:
1) EPUB/snapshot support: You can now view and annotate EPUBs and webpage snapshots in the built-in reader. This follows the EPUB/snapshot support in Zotero 7, and annotations now sync seamlessly between the desktop app and the iOS app.
2) PDF metadata retrieval: When you save a PDF directly from the browser, share a PDF from another app, or use the Add File option within the app, Zotero for iOS will now automatically attempt to retrieve metadata, just like the desktop app.
If you'd like to try these features, you can join the TestFlight group.
If you encounter any problems, please let us know in a new thread. Be sure to put "iOS" in your thread title and note that you're using the beta.

It is great that the app supports "open-pdf" links for epubs too! I look forward to the future refinement of the epub reader.
