This is awesome and I love the idea. I tend to document what I am working on, dating sketches looking back at old projects. This is perfect. Thanks.

Awesome - hope to see you on the site soon!

I've been working on this solution and am currently in a closed beta. Will be opening up this/next week over time. http://hivereader.com I meet all your requirements but the cross platform. Once the web API's are locked (aka near the 1st) I am going to start cranking on the mobile app ASAP as well as a public facing api. I also have social but you don't need to use it. (no really, it's barely there).

Also stop using grey http://stopusinggrey.com/ add just a bit of colors to you designs.

Techzing hands down. 2 guys just talking about startups and trying to make it. The guest are fantastic and they always drill down into topics.

Anyone have a epub or Mobi format? I just got a kindle and the converter for it ruins code samples if you take it from PDF.

I used to face the same issue with my Kindle and bought an iPad, because of how frustrating I found this, and am quite happy with the Kindle app on it.

Very smart of Amazon to hedge themselves on the hardware so cleanly.

Sharing my story not to diss the device, but in case anyone else is having the same predicament and considering jumping.

Whenever I asked around on academic circles about this, the ipad was the consensus. The kindle DX does an ok job according to the people I talked to, but the slow page turning drove people crazy when trying to understand a complicated paper referencing previous math/diagrams.

I really wish the academic world wasn't standardized around formats that only work for print. There are some LaTeX->html converters out there, that could presumably be used to make epub, but I have no idea how well they work.

Your peers are generally correct. I used a DX for technical papers and PDFs after going through the conversion hell you are stuck in (albeit with a Sony Reader) and then jumped to an iPad when it came out. The best advice I can offer is to hop over to mobileread.com and check out the forums to see what the current state of the art is. Back when I was doing two or three conversions a day the tools to use were Rastafarian and PDF2LRF but I am guessing there are better options available now. You may also want check out Calibre, which is an ebook library management app but one with a lot of built-in conversion routines.

Holy cow, could a project have picked a worse name than "Rastafarian"? If one searches for "Rastafarian", you can guess what turns up. But even "Rastafarian pdf conversion" seems to drop the "pdf" and returns lots of results for converting to the Rastafarian religion. Same for "convert".

I guess I'll have to go trolling through the mobileread.com forums, but just damn.

I've had a similar experience. The Kindle gets the job done, but I find myself using my iPad (or even iPhone) to read Kindle content most of the time now.

It's like your read from my personal list.

This is perfect. With my team of 3 there couldn't be an easier way to do this. Thanks for this. Also killer design.

Thanks! We have small teams ourselves and we created this based on what we need. Great to hear that it'll be useful for others, too.

I'm in. Bring it on.

Anyone know of a django/python set up like these?

See if maybe http://kutoken.com/ fits the bill.
