Version 7 of the open source reference manager Zotero was released last Friday. Read the linked announcement for details, but the most excited feature for me is an improved built-in reader with ePub support. Zotero allows you to store metadata and full-text publications and while PDF is the standard format for journal articles and preprints, books (and book chapters) are more commonly distributed as ePub files.

Zotero is a reference manager built as an extension of the Firefox web browser. The best introduction to Zotero is probably this short video. Last week the newest version (1.5 beta) was announced on the Zotero blog. Among the most exciting new features is the synchronization of library data with the Zotero server, which in the future will allow a lot of interesting social features.
