G'day Niels ! Count me as another happy user of Zotero + ZotFile; I did most of the reading for my upcoming book that way. I use GoodReader on the iPad as a PDF reader, and sync files between laptop and iPad via Dropbox. One small issue: with PDFs from some journals, ZotFile/Zotero sometimes get the page numbers for extracted text annotations wrong. This is the case with journals that append a cover page to a downloaded article PDF (e.g. Journalism Studies, and a number of other journals using the same CMS backend), which shifts the page numbers for extracted text by one. Not a massive problem as long as you're aware of it and apply manual corrections to the extracted notes that ZotFile generates.

Hi all,

Am very curious to hear your best practices for annotating papers on tablets and keeping them in sync with your favorite Citation and Bibliography tool and library.

I am a happy Zotero + LibreOffice / Sublime + LaTeXing - user who just obtained an Android tablet and who has the intention to stop printing papers in 2018.

All your recommendations on how to sync annotated papers between tablets and laptops are very welcome. If third party services are involved, I'd prefer to use servers under my control (eg Nextcloud) instead of third party services (eg DropBox, Google Drive).

And of course FLOSS is always better than proprietary tools.

Thanks all, and a happy end of the year.

Best,

Niels
