I’m a big fan of Google Reader with Mendeley as well. You can also use Yahoo Pipes to filter the papers coming through. I read many papers either on my cellphone or tablet while waiting or relaxing with ezPDF on Android. It indexs my documents and remembers pages. Droidley integrates fairly well with my Mendeley as well.
So excited to listen to this. I’m an undergrad right now and stumbled across the mammalian placentation paper this fall while working on a paper for a 200 level biology class. Fascinating stuff!!
