If going this route I'd also recommend checking out my brother's reference management tool Paperpile http://paperpile.com [0]

It's kind of like Gmail for your papers—keyboard shortcuts, fancy Google Docs integrations, auto-downloading etc. He spent a couple of years after finishing his PhD to make his dream reference management tool with a couple of friends.

It wasn't super clear from the page, but can I easily annotate PDF's from my iPad and use the summary of the annotations on my PC?
Sorry I missed this yesterday! They have a pretty amazing PDF annotator https://paperpile.com/features/pdf-annotator but not sure how it looks on an iPad.

Here they suggest that using iAnnotate synced with Google Drive files works like a charm: http://forum.paperpile.com/t/tip-sync-with-goodreader-on-ipa...
