Sync with eBook readers
Hi all,
There's currently a pilot project from the university's library: they are lending Sony eBook readers to know about their reader's concerns. This device have have annotating features and a stylus, and most of them allow the use of external memory cards
Most articles we put in Zotero are in PDF format, as are many electronic book editions.
Simply put, would it be possible to add a syncing feature, where all, or a subset of PDFs would be exported to an eBook reader, for reading and annotating without needing a full-fledged computer, or printing hundreds of pages?

But I'd rather see a sync plugin that would allow annotating the PDF, since summarizing info is a large part of the researcher job, and a client that would allow OFFLINE annotating. A network is many times not available, especially on wifi-only devices such as the iPad, the iPod Touch, etc.
