Just saw this on Twitter: http://xcorr.net/2013/01/30/try-zotero-reader-for-tablet/

Haven't had a chance to try it though.

Just saw your fundraiser campaign - best of luck with that!

Two comments
1. The website with the prototype gives anyone access to the full text pdfs of a pretty fair number of copyrighted papers - I'd be careful with that, it can easily get you into legal trouble if one of the publishers notices.
2. You should at least be aware that "Zotero" is a registered trademark. The folks at CHNM aren't the litigious type, but unless you got their permission they're not going to be super happy to see you using "Zotero" in an app name - the concern (and the reason the trademark exists) being that once this is in the app store it is going to look a _lot_ like an official Zotero app, which it is not. That's why you see word-play like "ZotPad," "Zandy" etc. for other 3rd party apps.
I have no official role in Zotero so this is just an unofficial heads-up, for anything official you'll want to get in touch with the program director.

If you want to try it out, just shoot me an email. It's on a dev server now, so I need to keep track of who I give the IP to.

I wanted to announce the new app, but you beat me to it :)

Zotero Reader web is now available. Features:

  • View, star, mark items as read in your Zotero library
  • Download PDFs, upload edited versions
  • Collections, tags, and full text search
  • Access to your public shared libraries
  • Automatically find PDFs for orphaned items

Announcement is here: http://xcorr.net/2013/05/06/zotero-reader-for-android/
App is available at zoteroreader.com

At the same time, we have an indiegogo campaign for a native Android app version of Zotero Reader. It's here:

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/zotero-reader-android-app

Try the web app, love it, and contribute to make the (much better) native Android version happen.

As for your feedback:

1) I don't think this is a problem under fair use
2) I've bought another domain if this is a problem

Thanks,

Patrick Mineault
