Hot take: the iPad/iOS Zotero reading experience is worlds apart from the PDF.js reader in Windows clients.
- layer8 3y agoIn which direction? (I don’t use either.)
- xattt 3y agoThe iOS version uses PDFkit, so the options for viewing and annotation are much better. It drives me bonkers that I can’t do single-page view on the desktop app.
- kergonath 3y agoAn iPad is the ideal form factor for this kind of things. Reading and annotating PDFs on that thing is a joy.
- evolve2k 3y agoI’m considering getting an iPad mini to read & annotate within Zotero. Anyone have experience of using an iPad mini for this. Is the form factor do-able or really too small? I like that I could read lying down with one hand, which I can’t achieve with a full-sized iPad.

I contemplated doing that, but went with an iPad Pro instead (11’’, second hand). Even 11’’ felt a bit small and I got a 13’’ eventually. Besides screen size, the Apple Pencil 2 is miles better. > I like that I could read lying down with one hand, which I can’t achieve with a full-sized iPad. Yes, for reading a Mini would be much better. More Kindle-like. The 11’’ Pro is still manageable with one hand (but without a case), but it’s not comfortable.
