I want an academic ereader that can handle legacy pdfs, and "formed content" ie text books pdfs [as well as "formless content" that reflows (like novels in epub, txt, html etc).

In addition it must be able to run a reference manager, i.e. it's library functions must integrate with a reference manager which integrates with noting taking, annotations.

The key issue here is software development, something which combines the database function (ie calibre, itunes organisation of book/files) the referencing function (endnote/ zotero bibliographic function of relating/attributing authors and their ideas to certain texts/files) as well as the ability to read any file format and write (or support writing which) referencing those authors ideas in those files.

An academic ereader would kick the competition out of the water. Huge market if done properly.

I don't need the wifi/3G bookshop-on-my-ereader model.

I need to read and write not shop and read.

I need the library-card-database-and-librarybookshelves-on-my-ereader.
