For what it's worth I do a lot of academic reading on my reader also, so this functionality would actually serve me and others very well. The potential difference between a dedicated process for this purpose and a catalog seems to me to be that for a bibliography for the purposes of a research paper, I wouldn't need all the citation information for every paper or book in my database, but only the relevent papers.
I currently use the reading list plugin to maintain a list of the documents that I've needed for a recent paper and the ability to create a bibliography from a list like that excites me just a little
I can't help at all with the development but I do really like the idea.
